Texas Children’s is proud to announce the arrival of the AngelEye Camera System to the Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This cutting-edge technology allows families to stay connected with their babies through secure, real-time video streaming via smartphones, tablets, or computers. Already in place at our North Austin and The Woodlands campuses, the cameras are making a huge impact.
Information Services successfully installed 178 cameras in individual NICU rooms on March 27. As of now, 77 cameras are actively streaming at the Medical Center, providing virtual access for guardians and parents.
Denise Tanner-Brown, vice president, associate chief nurse executive, shared her enthusiasm for this milestone: “Words cannot express how excited I am about the implementation of this transformational technology across our enterprise. This team has done phenomenal work to get our service line to this point. I want to thank our amazing partners in IS for helping make this dream a reality. Additionally, I want to thank the leaders for their vision, perseverance, and fortitude—it paid off!”
For many families, distance and hospital restrictions can make it hard to see their baby. This new technology is helping parents remain active participants in their child’s NICU journey.
AngelEye is a free service, made possible through funding from the Bad Pants Open.
A special thank you to our Medical Center NICU team, IS Teams, HTM, Facilities, and Nursing Informatics for their support during this Go Live. This is just another way Texas Children’s is reimagining the future through digital capabilities that foster meaningful connections between patients, families, and our workforce.
