Gangarru Group is active in Health sector, I do the operational management of the group and group divisions(Gangarru Baby, Gangarru Care & Babymoon Africa.
Gangarru Group (Gangarru Baby, Gangarru Care & Babymoon Africa) owns and operates the patent on which a unique product has been developed, the Gangarru Baby Carrier, which is based entirely on the principle of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC). In principle, this product is specifically designed for premature babies and offers a proven alternative to incubator care. The baby carrier can be used from birth to 1,000 days after birth, thus targeting both the clinical and consumer markets.
For the clinical market, Gangarru Care & Babymoon Africa, focuses on projects that involve conducting studies in collaboration with neonatologists and neonatology nurses and other healthcare professionals that take a closer look at and validate the application of our baby carriers in relation to Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) and replacement incubator care.
We distinguish between two projects here:
1. Baby Carrier Joey (1.0), the analog version baby carrier that has obtained MDR registration in 2025 in Tanzania and where the Netherlands will follow.
2. The Joey Smart Carrier. This project focuses on the further development of the Joey by equipping it with smart sensors embedded in/on the fabric that can measure and record baby's vital signs such as body temperature, heart rate and saturation and have them read out remotely via a cloud solution and a smart-app.

I was born in the southern part of the Netherlands (Brabant), something I am proud of, because we are known for our hospitality, Burgundian conviviality and constructive and open attitude. I am 57 years old and parent of three great children. I think I am a real peoples person because I like to invest my interest in other people believes and challenges in life, to see what makes them thrive and to help them succeed in anyway. I like to meet new people, so attending the UN IPS event looks like a great opportunity for that. Don't be shy and don't hesitate to get to know me better!
