Rutgers scientists have developed a free app in association with volunteers at Microsoft to help families keep their infants safe during their first year of life, and reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
Barbara Ostfeld, pediatrics professor at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers said safe sleep education happens throughout New Jersey hospitals, clinics and pediatric offices. But once the parents go home with the baby, how does the information stay fresh with parents?
The new app, "Baby Be Well" just rolled out for Android devices only, with iOS version to follow shortly. She said the app is designed as a traditional baby book, where parents can upload photographs and milestones and even track day-to-day activities such as feedings. Each time a parent comes back to the app, the parent is given a tip about safe infant sleep.
