Meet the Creator

Ashwini Lakshmanan, MD, MS, MPH

Baby Steps LA was created by Ashwini Lakshmanan, MD, MS, MPH.

Dr. Lakshmanan created Baby Steps LA to address gaps in healthcare delivery in perinatal-neonatal medicine. Her research revolves around the impact of maternal stress on birth outcomes and quality of life for caregivers of preterm infants after discharge from neonatal intensive care.

Impact of this research on healthcare

Neonatal morbidities affect roughly 15% of newborn infants, necessitating care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). These infants require special care even after they are discharged from the hospital, which is sometimes provided by transition-to-home programs.

The aim of this research and the creation of the Baby Steps LA App is to provide parents with care coordination, which is one of the core challenges parents face.
