Features and Options:
Baby connect offers parents and caretakers a simple way to track and share data about a baby, infant, or toddler. Once the user has created an account, they are prompted to enter basic information about the child such as name, birthday, and sex. The user can add as many children to their account as needed. They can also share data about a child with as many caregivers, physicians, caseworkers, etc. as needed.
The app provides numerous tools to monitor the child’s well-being. Parents and caretakers can record information regarding feeding, diaper changes, sleep habits, mood, activity, and medical information. The longer and more consistently parents or caretakers chart this information, the more data the app will have to create graphs, charts, and timelines.
Baby Connect’s graphs and charts are automated to show progress in weight, height, and head size. The timeline is automated to show progress in sleep, diaper changes, bottle feeding, nursing, and pumping. Charts, graphs, and timelines can be converted to Excel documents over the web browser version of Baby Connect.
Data updates in real time on any device used to view information about the child. If a parent or caretaker has invited another user to view their child’s profile, that user can access all information about that child but cannot access information about any other child on the parent or caretaker’s profile. Individuals with access to a child’s profile can instant message via the app and set push notifications so they can stay updated with one another.
