Latest reviews of NICU Words app for iPhone and iPad
Navigating through the medical world of the NICU is obviously a daunting and challenging experience for anyone. Having an app that helps explain medical terms in a way we can all understand, and makes the whole process a little easier is pure genius!
Highly recommended. Is really helping us to better understand all of the complicated, difficult medical terms used by nurses and doctors in the NICU. We are able to communicate with the NICU staff much better, which enables us to be more knowledgeable when meeting with and asking them questions. In turn, we have felt somewhat less helpless and more involved in our sons care :)
