NICU2HOME+ Features

Home

Home offers daily customized education content based on infants’ current age and parent preferences. This homepage also functions as a private social media-like platform that parents and invited relatives can connect through.

Daily Update

Daily Update allows parents to maintain a vital connection to their infant – literally! This feature collects information from NICU-babies’ electronic medical records (EMR) to notify parents of their weight, feeding status, and more once per day

NICU2Home also recognizes that medical jargon, large teams of doctors, and bulky medical equipment make it difficult for many parents to feel a connection to the health care workers supporting their baby. To create a human-centered experience, Daily Update offers a simple, yet effective, way for parents to know who is interacting with their infant.

Education Center

The Education Center provides a wide range of content beneficial to parents of even the youngest premature babies. The goal of this feature is to show parents what they may experience during their infant’s NICU journey. While many parents feel a sense of uncertainty throughout the NICU stay and transition home, the Education Center fosters feelings of self-competence and emotional support.

Community

Nurturing a premature baby can be tough, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. This feature aims to provide NICU families a moderated platform from which they can view curated posts and comment on their own NICU journey with the community.
