The Angel Eye system uses a camera placed at the baby’s bedside so that parents and other family members who can’t be at the NICU can view the baby 24 hours a day by logging into a secure account from their laptop, tablet or smartphone. This system helps promote bonding between parents and their premature babies, who sometimes have to stay in the hospital for weeks or months.

*NEW* Superhero Project Donates ANGELeye Camera
Beginning with holiday deliveries of baskets containing NICU visit essentials like hand sanitizer and tissues, as well as personalized crocheted hats for baby, the Project was overwhelmingly suppor
ted by Kelly’s family and friends’ help and donations. However, she knew there was more that could be done.
Making and maintaining the vital connection between family at home and babies in the NICU can be a difficult task to manage. While doing some research for the Superhero Project, Kelly came across some interesting technology and approached the hospital to discuss what she had found – the Angel Eye Camera. This system places cameras into NICU isolettes allowing parents and families of newborns needing extended specialized care the ability to see and interact with their infant while they are away from the hospital.
Kelly knew immediately when she found the Angel Eye system not only how she would have benefited from the technology but how every parent with a fragile infant in the NICU would as well. The Superhero Project began to raise the necessary funds to install the cameras in as many area hospitals as possible.
We are so happy to announce that on Tuesday, June 28, on behalf of the Superhero Project, Kelly presented Marie Schickler, Administrative Director of Nursing, with a check for $5,000 toward the purchase and installation of Angel Eye Cameras at St. Mary.

Though the Angel Eye Cameras are not yet installed, a sample unit was available for demonstration to the NICU nurses, hospital staff and invited media representatives. This amazing technology is a welcome addition that fits nicely into the recently expanded NICU which was designed with many touches for family bonding and comfort. The camera system’s presence will help to improve the NICU experience for hundreds of babies and families each year.
