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.
