Solutions to de-mystify healthcare

Meet Nell and friends as we learn about the mysterious environment of a Neonatal Unit. 

Having a baby in the neonatal unit can be an emotional time for the whole family, including older siblings and other children close to the family.

Nell and the Neonatal Unit is an engaging and interactive app designed for pre-school and primary school-aged children (approx. 3–8 years) to help them understand the neonatal environment.

Through interactive stories, familiar sounds, and friendly explanations, the app introduces them to the equipment, staff, and different journeys babies and families may experience.

With fun and engaging games, tools to support big emotions, and thoughtful conversation starters, Nell and the Neonatal Unit helps parents and siblings connect, making the experience feel less overwhelming and more familiar.

Developed for neonatal families by clinical psychologists, neonatologists, and paediatricians, with support and collaboration from neonatal families.
