New Video Streaming App for Parents with Premature Babies

A new video streaming mobile app lets parents monitor their premature babies in hospital constantly.

The app designed by CSIRO allows parents to securely log in and view a live video stream of their baby in hospital. 

The app is currently on trial in the Townsville Hospital neonatal intensive care unit. Our producer Marlene Even spoke to the lead software engineer behind the app Jana Vignarajan.
