Mobile UX/UI Case Study on Nicolette

Nicolette

NICU Parent Empowerment.

HealthcareMobile APPB2B & B2C

The Goal

NicoBoard gives parents the competence and confidence to participate in their baby’s healthcare decisions. A React Native application deployed in hospital environments, NicoBoard is a parent-facing application that maps a premature baby's plan of care and tracks progress in a way that parents can understand. The application visually translates critical health data, enabling parents to be empowered members of their baby's healthcare team. Flatirons partnered with Nicolette to build a mobile application which parents can download to their personal devices.

Visualizing EMR Data.

The mobile-based application is designed to streamline and demystify the flurry of medical numbers being thrown at parents, provide curated and accurate medical education resources, and give them a place to chronicle their time in the NICU.

To help parents manage the feelings of fear, confusion, and helplessness, NicoBoard collects and interprets the torrent of information in a patient’s electronic medical record. Metrics like body temperature, weight gain, and oxygen saturation are pulled from the record and translated by a kind of AI, called natural language generation, into simple, easy to understand sentences that can help parents feel confident when making decisions or participating in care.

Capturing moments.

The app also has a platform for videos, photos, and journal entries, which can be shared with family and friends. Likened to a NICU Instagram, documenting days and sharing photos helps add some normalcy back into being a parent.

Custom Design System.

Flatirons internal design team provided Nicolette with a full-range of design services including information architecture, all UX and UI design, and a complete, living style guide and custom design system with iconography, typography, and illustrations.
