HIE-Connect Study
Is your baby 2 months old?
Or will be soon? We need your help!
Purpose
The HIE-CONNECT study investigates the brain development of healthy babies in comparison to the brain development of babies who suffered a lack of oxygen around birth (hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, HIE). These babies are more lilkely to have learning and physical difficulties later in life.

Your Contribution
- Offer valuable information on brain development
- Contribute to improving the care of newborns following HIE.
What Is Involved
We will measure your baby's brain activity simply by placing a soft cap, with sensors, on their head at 3 and 6 months of age.
