The first night
Discharge is a milestone. It should not be the moment care stops.
For months, a NICU nurse and a monitor sit beside the crib. Then the baby comes home — often weeks before the due date, sometimes still on oxygen or tube feeds — and that responsibility sits with the parents.
Former preterm infants are not like babies born at full term. Firstday was founded by a neonatologist to change that status quo.

How it works
A gateway tablet at the center of care at home
The Firstday Healthcare gateway tablet app is the hub of your NICU at home. It collects vital signs from wearable sensors and connected devices, then keeps families and clinicians looking at the same picture.
01
Wireless sensors
Heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and saturation from FDA-approved devices such as Vivalink, Owlet BabySat, or Aulisa Guardian Angel.
02
Gateway tablet
Bedside hub for live signs, daily virtual rounds, and alerts. Data syncs instantly to the cloud, the command center, and the parent phone.
03
Command center
Neonatal providers watch around the clock, SMS the care team when values leave range, and can loop in the pediatrician or hospital neonatologist.
Caregiver app
The record, the trends, and a clinician at 2 a.m.
Parent smartphone app
Live signs when you step away from the crib
Parents can see live vital signs when they are not next to their infant, and keep the medical story in one place.
Realtime vital signs
Graph vital sign trends and share results with others. SMS alerts go to families and the care team based on predetermined values.
Medical record
Upon login, parents find their infant’s NICU medical record, updated by our team. Download or share parts of the record, or the entire record, with one click.
Providers and appointments
Contact information for the infant’s doctors, upcoming appointment dates, and SMS reminders to improve follow-through.
HIPAA-compliant text and video
