Description: During a Formula 1 race, a car sends hundreds of millions of data points to its garage for real-time analysis and feedback. So why not use this detailed and rigorous data system elsewhere, like at children's hospitals? Peter van Manen tells us more.

Better baby care -- thanks to Formula 1

Ultra-precise systems from Formula 1 racing are now helping hospitals spot danger before it strikes. A single race car can transmit 750 million data points during a two-hour race, allowing teams to react instantly. Applying similar real-time monitoring in pediatric intensive care, doctors can catch subtle changes and prevent cardiac arrests. This blend of technology and medicine turns raw numbers into lifesaving insights for vulnerable patients.
