Keeping Families Connected in the NICU.

smallTalk in the NICU

Designed with grant support from the National Institutes of Health, The smallTalk® NICU Egg™ is a speaker device that helps families stay connected to their baby during a stay in the NICU. Bring caregiver’s voice and presence to the baby even when they can’t be there.

Designed for both parents and hospital care teams, our system is easy to implement and helps overcome early language deficits.

The Power of Voice

For babies in the NICU, hearing their caregiver's voice helps in increasing cardiorespiratory stability and growth, improves deep sleep, and is even associated with shorter stays. And, it’s good for their brain. NICU babies who hear more infant directed speech may have improved neurobehavioral and language scores at 18 months.

Keep Your Family Connected

We know having a baby in the NICU is an anxious time. Our system combines our hospital-safe speaker device with an easy-to-use app, along with plenty of resources to help you create the best possible recordings for your baby’s development.

When it’s time to bring your speaker to the hospital, we supply an easy-to-follow guide for your care team to make it easy for them to know the right time and method for using the device with your baby. smallTalk makes it easy to make your presence felt even when you can’t be there!
