Sparrow Hospital rolls out new newborn "EASE" program app

A new messaging system is helping parents of babies in Sparrow Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit monitor how their newborns are doing. The system is called EASE. It’s an app on a device at every baby’s bedside. Parents who install the app on their smartphones receive text messages and photos, and they also can watch a livestream of doctor visits when they can’t be there in person.
