hBoard vs NICUVerse

This application will work along hBoard for Labor & Delivery units that controls the progress of a labor and delivery including nursing, physicians and anesthesiologists assigned to each patient or to the entire unit and will also control clinical data during the admission up to the neonate delivery, including cervical exam, partogram, membranes, pain scale, gestational age, parity and gravidity, notes, file attachments and all medical data for healthcare providers to provide a excellent patient care. The main application will be hanging on a wall of the Labor & Delivery Unit and the users will use their mobile devices to interact with the main application.

NICUVerse is a comprehensive neonatology and perinatal medical education app designed to help learners at all levels (medical students, PA students, NP students, fellows, nurses, and residents) feel more comfortable in the NICU by providing accessible, high-yield information right at their fingertips. The app offers a wide breadth of knowledge on hundreds of diagnoses encountered in the NICU, covering physiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management. It features a robust nutrition section as well as content focused on the perinatal and pregnancy periods. There is a dedicated procedures section where learners can follow simple checklists to gather all necessary materials and confidently perform common NICU procedures. The imaging section explores common pathological findings, highlighting key differences between normal and abnormal images across various modalities to enhance understanding. NICUVerse also includes two powerful toolkits: i. The Preemie Screening Tool – Learners can enter the gestational age and birth weight of the neonate, and the app generates a checklist of relevant screenings along with recommended timing. ii. The Antenatal Counseling Tool – Learners can input the expected gestational age and receive a checklist of key topics to discuss with families during prenatal counseling sessions. Another key feature is the equation and calculator section. With nearly 25 built-in NICU calculators, learners simply enter the required inputs, and the app does the math. Each equation also includes an “Explain This Calculation” feature, which breaks down how the result was derived and offers practical tips for clinical use. The FAQ section answers common questions from past learners, with the option for users to submit their own questions to be featured. Finally, the resources section provides links to key articles, textbooks, and other helpful tools to support deeper learning. Invite your learners to explore the newest universe in neonatology, the NICUVerse!
