Strategic acquisition boosts family engagement and streamlines NICU navigation

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – AngelEye Health, the leading technology provider for neonatal and pediatric family engagement services, today announces the acquisition of NICU2Home, a company dedicated to empowering families and optimizing care coordination using technology during the journey in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This strategic acquisition strengthens AngelEye’s commitment to holistic NICU care, expands its solutions for seamlessly connecting families with their infants, and positions the company to streamline the patient experience from admission to discharge for families and clinicians.

The acquisition further positions AngelEye Health to address a critical gap in neonatal care coordination by offering numerous benefits, including:

– Optimized discharge coordination, planning and parent engagement
– Improved communication between care teams and families
– Reduction of unnecessary days in the NICU
– Increased financial efficiency for hospitals

“At NICU2Home, we’ve dedicated more than twelve years to developing and refining our technology, knowing the profound impact it can have on families navigating the complexities of the NICU journey,” said Dr. Craig Garfield, co-founder and co-PI at NICU2Home. “Partnering with AngelEye, a leader in the field with a vast existing network, is a game-changer. Together, we have the potential to revolutionize NICU care by empowering families and streamlining the transition home. We’re excited to join forces and make this technology accessible to more families across the country.”

AngelEye will leverage the newly combined expertise to further enhance its solutions by integrating NICU2Home with its existing family engagement platform to add a discharge management solution. The integration will provide a single consolidated experience for care teams, healthcare providers and families. The combined solution will be available to new and existing AngelEye customers in phases throughout 2024.

“The acquisition of NICU2Home aligns perfectly with our mission to create a more connected and supportive NICU experience for everyone involved,” said Christopher Rand, chief executive officer at AngelEye. “By integrating their innovative family engagement app with our best-in-class camera solutions and data insights, we are creating a comprehensive ecosystem that empowers families, optimizes NICU navigation and ultimately improves the transition to home.”

NICU2Home’s user-friendly mobile app, backed by peer-reviewed research from four Chicago-area NICUs, including Northwestern Medicine, provides families with tools to stay informed and engaged throughout their NICU stay. It offers personalized educational content and insights that empower families to understand their child’s condition better and to engage in the care team.
