Context
The world is undergoing radical technological change. This will profoundly impact the science, technology and care provided to vulnerable babies during their NICU hospitalization and after discharge home. We have an opportunity to radically reimagine the way we provide care in the NICU and at home to improve infant outcomes across the life course. The California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative (CPQCC) with its statewide network of NICUs and High Risk Infant Follow Up (HRIF) Program can serve as the catalyst for innovation.
Summary
A one-day conference hosted by the CPQCC at Stanford, providing practitioners, technologists, and policymakers with a unique chance to envision the future of NICU and early childhood care, emphasizing the foundation of a healthy life from birth to early childhood.
Impact
NEOsphere conference aspires to provoke a reexamination of care practices, serves an incubator for ideas, and a platform for innovation. We aim to harness the wisdom of NICU families to develop collaboration between technologists, practitioners, and families to support the development and testing of novel approaches that enhance NICU care and early childhood health outcomes and equity. NEOsphere holds the potential to transform the NICU and early childhood care landscape.
