Summary
This study tests a mobile app designed to help parents of premature babies bond with their infant, reduce stress, and strengthen family resilience. The app provides educational content, interactive messages, and self-guided activities starting during the NICU stay and continuing for six months after discharge. Researchers will enroll 300 parents to see if the app improves bonding, confidence, and mental health compared to usual care.
