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.
