Bringing clarity, confidence, and connection to life after the NICU


Bringing your baby home from the NICU is a moment filled with joy but also uncertainty. After weeks or months surrounded by monitors, nurses, and a medical team, many parents feel like they’re stepping into the unknown.


Whether your NICU stay was 10 days or 103, you’re not just going home, you’re bringing complex care with you. That’s where mejo comes in: a digital care companion designed to help families organize medical information, track their baby’s progress, and share updates with care teams, therapists, and loved ones.


The Transition from NICU to Home Is Overwhelming


Once you leave the hospital, you become the coordinator, record-keeper, and advocate for your baby’s ongoing care. And with so many moving parts, it’s easy to feel unprepared:


  • Multiple follow-up appointments (pediatrician, specialists, early intervention)

  • Medications, feeding plans, and medical equipment

  • Developmental tracking and symptom monitoring

  • Sharing updates with home nurses, therapists, or distant family

  • Explaining your child’s story over and over again


Without a system, it’s chaos. With mejo, it’s all in one place.


How mejo Helps NICU Families at Home


mejo was built by caregivers who’ve walked this path. It’s not just another app, it’s a digital care coordination tool designed specifically for medically complex families.


One-Page Care Profile

Summarize your baby’s diagnoses, feeding plan, medications, specialists, and emergency protocols. Update once, share with new providers, therapists, and school teams as needed.


Feeding and Medication Logs

Track G-tube feeds, bottle attempts, medication schedules, and changes in appetite or tolerance. View patterns and easily export reports to your clinical team.


Secure Document Storage

Upload your NICU discharge summary, feeding protocol, growth charts, therapy evaluations, and more so everything is accessible when you need it most.


Symptom and Milestone Tracking

Monitor sleep, mood, GI symptoms, respiratory issues, or developmental progress. Visual timelines help spot trends and support informed care decisions.


Journaling and Notes

Document questions, observations, or moments of concern (or celebration!) to review at your next visit or share directly with your provider or home health nurse.
