Hi everyone! I’m a university student currently conducting a capstone research project on users’ acceptance of AI-based tools in neonatal healthcare monitoring and analytics.

This study aims to understand how different groups — including healthcare professionals, parents, caregivers, and individuals with future parenting intentions — perceive and accept AI-assisted neonatal healthcare technologies.

The survey takes around 10–15 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous and used strictly for academic purposes.

You do not need to be a healthcare professional to participate — all relevant experiences and perspectives are welcome.

If you are a:

Healthcare professional (doctor, nurse, hospital staff, etc.)
Parent or caregiver of a newborn
Expectant parent
Individual planning to become a parent in the future
Family caregiver or guardian

Your participation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I’m a neonatologist and programmer, and over the last year I’ve been building Nidus, a neonatal decision-support app that started as a personal side project to make my own workflow easier.
The goal is simple: bring the tools and evidence I use every day into one place.
So far it includes:
EOS calculators (Kaiser, AAP, NICE)
AAP 2022 bilirubin management
WHO & INeS growth charts
Drug dosing and infusion calculators
Searchable neonatal guidelines
An AI assistant with source-cited answers based on a curated neonatal knowledge base (not a generic chatbot).
A huge amount of work has gone into the backend to make it as reliable as possible, especially around guideline retrieval, citations, and reducing unsafe AI outputs.
Before taking it any further, I’d really like honest feedback from people working in NICUs.
Would you use something like this? What features are missing? What would make you trust—or avoid—an AI-assisted neonatal tool?
I’d genuinely appreciate any criticism or suggestions. Thanks!
