In March, Saint Thomas Health announced addition of NICView cameras to Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital, becoming the first hospital in Middle Tennessee to offer a 24/7 webcam streaming service in the NICU to allow patients and their families to view their infant through a secure, online portal.

"We are incredibly excited to add video streaming to our NICU to help provide peace of mind to parents and families when they are away from their newborn," said Kristen Toth, vice president of Women's and Children's Services. "The NICView system will allow families to monitor daily progress and receive notes from our nurses pertaining to the care their babies are receiving."

The NICView cameras will be made available for newborns in the NICU with parental and provider consent. Each family is given an individual log in, which allows them to view their infant online 24/7 through any web-enabled device from anywhere in the world. The addition of NICView cameras to Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital was made possible by funding from the Saint Thomas Health Foundation through the supporters of Rock the Cradle.
