Data is generated using GPS technologies, capturing simple data such as time (seconds) and position (latitude and longitude). While the data capture is highly granular and in relatively high volumes, the raw data are unsuited to any form of analysis or machine learning functions.

Background: The global increase in neonatal visits to Pediatric Emergency Departments (PEDs) underscores the need to better understand the factors driving these visits and their implications.

Objective: This study aims to compile the most common chief complaints of neonates in the PED and analyze their association with admission rates and final ED diagnoses to inform educational interventions for caregivers and medical personnel.
