ConductScience / NICU transition software
A mobile health platform for very-low-birth-weight infant families, built to turn hospital guidance, parent self-checks, moderated chat, and care resources into one calmer transition home.
01 / Need
Parents leaving the NICU need more than a packet. Baby Steps LA gives families a structured mobile companion for education, confidence checks, peer support, and resource access during the transition from hospital care to home care.
02 / Build
ConductScience translated the care pathway into mobile modules: curated content, self-evaluation tools, moderated parent chat, and an accessible medical library. The system was designed for repeated use under real family stress, not one-time onboarding.
03 / Outcome
The pilot associated power use with a 14% improvement in parenting self-efficacy. The page now presents the project as a concrete digital-health deployment rather than a generic partnership description.
Implementation model
Convert NICU transition moments into discrete parent tasks, education modules, and confidence checkpoints.
Package guidance, self-evaluation, chat, and reference content in a compact mobile experience.
Design peer discussion and parent messaging around oversight, escalation, and safe participation.
Track power use, self-efficacy changes, and engagement patterns for research reporting.
Operating details
