The estrellita system: A health informatics tool to support caregivers of preterm infants

Abstract

Preterm infants have significantly higher rates of functional limitations and are at risk for delays in cognitive, motor, and other skills. In this demo, we describe a health informatics system we developed to support caregivers of preterm infants. In this demo, we present Estrellita, a system to support caregivers of preterm infants. This system is comprised of a mobile application for parents and a web portal for clinicians. Estrellita supports more efficient tracking and communication among stakeholders and balances the sometimes-competing needs of parents, clinicians, and other healthcare professionals.
