Nestling is an AI-powered mobile app designed to support parents after their newborn’s discharge from the NICU. The time following a hospital stay can feel uncertain. Nestling helps bridge that gap with guidance, comfort, and intelligent insights.
Parents can track feeding, sleep, diapers, pumping, and growth, while adding small milestone photos that turn daily logs into a digital keepsake. A predictive AI model visualizes the baby’s growth trajectory against WHO and Fenton standards, helping families monitor recovery and anticipate changes.
With built-in Optical Character Recognition, parents can scan discharge papers and instantly turn complex medical documents into simple summaries. Logs and charts can be securely exported as PDFs to share with pediatricians during checkups.
The Resource Hub offers expert-verified articles on feeding, recovery, bonding, and mental health, while color-coded alerts and gentle notifications help parents respond promptly without added stress.
Built using React Native, FastAPI, and Firebase, Nestling blends technology and empathy, transforming post-NICU care into confidence and connection.
