We are an award-winning pediatric biotechnology startup working with clinicians to help improve the treatment of newborns with specific medical conditions - especially those where breathing and heart rate are a concern. Over a decade ago, clinicians and scientists developed a unique vibrating pad to help newborns breathe, relax and sleep. At Prapela, we're working to make this breakthrough available to help infants and their caregivers everywhere. Our extremely gentle vibration moves randomly within a very narrow range of up & down movement and speed. It's based on a field of science called Stochastic Resonance which explains that biological processes (like breathing and heart rate) can be improved with random stimulation.
