Connect families who are unable to be at their child’s bedside with quick message updates, secure video calls, and time-limited livestreams from hospital-approved devices only.

Studies show message updates help NICU parents feel closer to their infant and reassured1
Quick updates. Meaningful connection. Published studies show that messages, photos and videos from the care team help parents feel closer and ease the strain of separation when they cannot be at the bedside. Communication is also the strongest driver of family experience scores.1

Fewer disruptive calls with one-way message updates. Skip the typing with custom message templates, pictures, eCards and video or voice clips designed for busy care teams. Families are notified instantly without calling the unit, with automatic translation in 74 languages. Parents can respond only with preset emoji reactions.

Secure livestream — no intrusive 24/7 webcams. Give parents time with their child through time-limited livestreams on hospital-approved tablets. Parents receive a notification and tap to join. No dedicated 24/7 webcam, no scheduling, and no sound from the unit transmitted to parents.

Direct video calls made simple. Bring parents into bedside rounds and conversations when they cannot be there in person. Tap a parent’s name in the app to call—no meeting links or access codes. The unit’s name appears on the lock screen of the parent’s phone, and they simply swipe to join the video call.
Hundreds of articles, videos, and infographics organized by care stage.
All content is designed to be clear, accessible, and easy to understand during overwhelming moments.

43% of NICU parents have limited health literacy2
Clear information matters. When terminology is too complex, parents experience frustration, altered attachment, and decreased parental confidence (Guttmann et al., 2024).

Friendly, illustrated infographics. Break down what's happening so families feel informed — without the medical jargon.

Trusted resources in one place. Curated links and reference material, so families aren't searching the open web for answers during a stressful time.

Complex medical topics, explained simply. Easy-to-understand articles for difficult moments, reviewed by neonatal and pediatric clinicians.

Hands-on guidance families can follow. It helps them navigate every stage of having a baby or young child in a healthcare facility.
Safely deliver and manage parent-recorded voices, stories, and songs — alongside music-therapist-curated audio — at the bedside when families can't be present.

Studies on parental voice suggest benefits for comfort, feeding, and early brain development.3
Familiar voices. Carefully delivered. Audio Care helps deliver family recordings to hospitalized babies and young children. Explore 30 published studies on the benefits of parental voice in neonatal care.3

Every song and lullaby in our catalog is recorded or approved by NICU-MT certified music therapists. The catalog is carefully curated for safe bedside listening by hospitalized babies and young children. Each recording includes synchronized lyrics to help parents practice slow, soothing singing.

Educate and empower parents to sing live and record their own versions of classic lullabies and bonding music with visible lyrics. Each parent recording is automatically optimized to amplify voice frequencies, reduce background noise, and normalize audio levels for safe bedside playback.

Stories for parents to read live and record for playback at the bedside. Enable parents to connect with their child through stories, either live or recorded. All voice recordings are automatically optimized for safe bedside playback and include automatic duration limits.

Safe pillow speakers designed for premature babies, infants, and young children. Every Audio Care session is built around safety: playback length is set to the patient's age — post-menstrual age for premature babies — and a mandatory speaker sound-check runs before each session. A soothing experience designed to protect each little patient's well-being.

Ready-to-use playlists. Curated by NICU music therapists, organized by comfort level, weeks since birth, and postmenstrual age. Encrypted parent recordings play only for their child. Your team starts or stops playback; a timer ends it.

Nurse controls, age-appropriate limits. Playback settings are configured with care-team controls and duration limits, without adding clinical complexity.

Safe speakers for little patients. Every detail protects the most fragile patients: sound stays below 50 dB to safeguard developing hearing, the speakers are battery-free so there is nothing to overheat or recharge between sessions, and there are no Bluetooth or other wireless signals near a child's developing brain.

Clearer parent voices for consistent playback quality. Recordings are automatically optimized to reduce background noise, improve speech clarity, and maintain gentle, predictable volume levels. These recording optimizations are performed automatically on the parent's device, preserving privacy and ensuring optimal voice recording quality for their child — every time.
LuvviCare 'Audio Care' is not a therapy, a medical device, or a music therapy provider. LuvviCare provides the technology platform that helps hospitals safely deliver and manage parent-recorded and clinically curated audio at the bedside. Clinical indications, dosing, contraindications, and care plans remain entirely with the care team. Pillow speakers are not manufactured by LuvviCare. See the supporting reference library.

Support preparation, step by step. LuvviCare helps parents follow their baby’s progress, record their contributions, and work through home preparation alongside your team’s teaching. Explore the supporting research.4

All progress and milestones, captured. Families log clinical and developmental milestones, building their own record of every step in their baby's progress.

Growth tracked against gestational norms. Weight, length, and head circumference plotted on gestational growth curves, with guided education that helps families better understand the data.

Family engagement, made visible. Visits, skin-to-skin, singing and reading, pumping, and nursing are logged in one place — providing a clear picture of each family’s involvement in their baby’s care.

A parent's impact, made real. Parents capture the care and connection they give their baby — every visit, hold, and feed — turning small moments into a visible record of the difference only they can make.

Clear answers to help you evaluate LuvviCare for your unit.
No — LuvviCare was built with bedside nurses and care teams to reduce burden, not add to it. The interface is designed for busy clinicians, with every core action tested to take under 15 seconds. Sending a quick photo update is faster than a phone call, and families who get regular updates call less often. Education modules also answer common questions before they ever reach your team.
Most implementations take 2–4 weeks from kickoff to launch. Training is brief—typically one session per shift. Staff are usually comfortable after their first day using the platform.
Families complete secure registration and sign in with an SMS code sent to their mobile device, so only they can reach their account. They control who in their family network receives updates. All data is encrypted and stored on region-specific servers, and we never share family data outside the care team.
All content is developed and approved by the LuvviCare Medical Advisory Board—licensed neonatal, pediatric and palliative care professionals, including board-certified music therapists. Content aligns with WHO guidance and is reviewed regularly.
Patient portals are built for general hospital communication. LuvviCare is purpose-built for the families of hospitalized babies and children—across NICU, PICU and pediatric palliative care—with progress tracking, soothing audio at the bedside, controlled livestreaming, education paced by care stage, and workflow tools designed for high-acuity care.
We help you track the metrics that matter: family satisfaction scores, phone-call frequency, education completion, progress through the care journey, and care-team feedback. Pilot programs establish baseline measurements for comparison.
Minimal effort, no EHR integration required. We need single sign-on credentials for integration and network access for the platform. Your IT team doesn't manage the application—we handle updates, maintenance and support.
Yes. White-labeling with your hospital branding, custom progress categories, sponsor integration, and configurable education modules are all available. We work with each unit to match their workflows.
Audio Care is matched to each child's developmental stage—for newborns, it automatically adjusts to post-menstrual age. The system enforces duration limits and includes sound-level monitoring during setup, and playlists are restricted to developmentally appropriate content—so the platform prevents overstimulation by design.
LuvviCare runs on the devices your team and families already have—nothing special to buy. The hospital app works on any iOS or Android device, smartphone or tablet. The family app works on any iOS or Android smartphone. And the hospital admin is web-based, running in any recent, secure web browser.
Yes. LuvviCare provides dedicated 24/7 customer support to assist with any questions or issues. Our team is always available to help both hospital staff and families, ensuring smooth operation and quick resolution of any problems.
