Purpose of the Review
Today we will discuss the Baby Care app from a patient-centric point of view:
- Does it help patients organize their information?
- Should you recommend it to your patients?
Introduction
New parents are often anxious and bombard their newborn’s pediatrician with questions and information that’s seldom organized.
This poses a problem when said pediatrician needs to keep track of major changes in the baby’s development.
Baby Care is an app that can help your patients organize themselves and provide you with the information you need.
User Interface
Upon the launch of Baby Care, we are asked to add our baby’s information before we can access the app. Adding baby information is very intuitive and the interface is simple.
Once we are done with that, we are brought to Baby Care’s main screen. This screen contains a list of features like a calendar, reminders, photos and settings. The bottom part of the screen has five icons acting as shortcuts to statistics and charts based on the information we have entered.
By tapping on the plus sign we can add a new event such as a feeding, sleeping, or changing the baby’s diaper. We can also enter whether we gave the baby some medicine and even the baby’s mood. We can also comment on that event by adding a simple note.
The app supports multiple reminders to notify parents and caregivers when their baby is due for a medical appointment. The Growth icon allows us to input our baby’s measurements in a simple manner.
The app also acts as a baby’s journal and photo album.

Conclusion
- Baby Care certainly can store huge amounts of information even if keeping track of our baby’s mood seems bordering on the obsessive.

- It seems odd using the app’s main screen for settings instead of showcasing the different features.
