How Swaddled works

One companion,
for the whole journey.

Swaddled is designed for the full arc of the NICU stay, from admission through discharge and beyond. Six tools, each one built to answer a specific thing that goes wrong when a family has none of them.

At admission

Walk in less alone

Start logging what you are told, get the language explained, and find parents who are a step ahead of you on the same road.

In the NICU

Day by day

Track each milestone, keep your questions for the care team in one place, and take two minutes for yourself between ward rounds.

Discharge and beyond

It does not end at the door

The record of your stay, the people you met, and the support you leaned on stay with you after you go home.

Medical Translation

Log the day’s updates and get plain-language explanations of every NICU term, procedure, and diagnosis. The acronyms stop being a wall, and start being something you understand.

  • Plain-language explanations of NICU terms
  • Guidance on what procedures and diagnoses mean
  • A running, dated log of updates in one place

Mental Health Micro-Support

Support that fits the reality of NICU life: short, gentle, and there when you have a moment. Designed for the two minutes between ward rounds, not a free afternoon you do not have.

  • Guided breathing you can do at the bedside
  • Short affirmations for hard moments
  • NICU-specific education in small pieces

Peer Community

Friends and family cannot always understand. The people who can are other NICU parents. Swaddled connects you with parents at a similar gestational or medical stage, people who have actually been where you are.

  • Matched by gestational or medical stage
  • People who speak the same language as your stay

Milestone Tracker & Parent Journal

The most consequential choices land when you are least equipped to make them. The tracker and journal help you stay oriented: clinical progress and the moments that matter, plus a private place to hold the questions you want to ask next.

  • Track clinical milestones over time
  • Capture the small moments that matter
  • Keep questions for the care team, private and secure

Full Accessibility

A tool for every family only works if it works for every family. Accessibility is built in, not bolted on.

  • Live transcription
  • Translation
  • Screen reader support
