An App For Parents of Preemies

From OZY -

THIS APP GUIDES PREEMIE PARENTS THROUGH SCARY TIMES
By Daniel Malloy

No piece of technology can manage the emotional cyclone of the neonatal intensive care unit, but a new app launched in May by the March of Dimes charity can bring some order and a little more sanity to a harrowing time for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) fathers and mothers. My NICU Baby lets parents track their child’s progress — from weight to feedings to time in skin-to-skin contact with parents, known as “kangaroo care.” It includes a glossary of medical terms so you know what it means if your baby gets an endotracheal tube, and what that blue bili light does.
