Babyfirst.com Offers Instant Mobile Access to Critical Information for Preemie Parents and NICU Staff
Optimized for Easy Access on Mobile Phones and Tablets, Online Portal Aims to Support Parents of Premature Babies, Neonatal Doctors and NICU Nurses
TELFORD, Pa, Oct. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Babyfirst.com, a single destination for the care giving team and parents of premature babies to exchange information and experiences online, is now optimized for quick and easy access on mobile phones and tablets. With content featuring clinicians and renowned experts, Babyfirst.com offers parents and families of premature babies a trusted resource to gain a better understanding of what they can expect in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) - with insight into common terms, procedures, equipment, post-hospital care, and more.
For expecting parents, having a premature baby is not typically a planned event, instead, they are thrust into a high-stress situation in an environment that is quite different from the traditional Labor & Delivery unit. With little to no preparation for the pace and intensity of the NICU - and their premature baby's life in the balance - Babyfirst.com offers parents instant access through their mobile devices to critical information at the most critical time of their baby's life.
The growing availability of wireless internet access within hospitals, combined with the prevalence of internet enabled hand held devices, and the mass adoption of social media were key drivers in bringing Babyfirst.com to mobile devices. It was important to make Babyfirst.com accessible to parents since they spend most of their time in the NICU. That way, we enable them to find answers and include their extended family members in their NICU experience.
Babyfirst.com offers a broad range of content, including videos of renowned experts, blog and video entries by parents about their own NICU experiences, research papers and inspirational profiles about the lives of "miracle babies" who were once treated in the NICU themselves.
The Babyfirst.com website is supported by Draeger, a leading international provider of medical and safety technology and services worldwide, including equipment for the NICU, and NICUniversity.org, a web-based medical continuing education center for neonatal practitioners.
