We empower NICUs worldwide to improve preterm infant outcomes

Our mission

Protecting the developing brains of the world's most vulnerable newborns — through smarter, contact-free NICU care.

We are building the contact-free AI camera platform that supports NICU clinicians' awareness of infant sleep-wake state, positioning, and environment — with all processing on-premise and GDPR-compliant, so no patient video ever leaves the hospital.

NICOWL's mission extends beyond parent live-streaming cameras: it is a clinical AI platform designed with and for neonatologists and nurses.

NICOWL's contact-free NICU monitoring platform supports a 20–30% improvement in protected sleep, ~20% reduction in nursing workload, and measurable QALY gains per infant — freeing clinical capacity for the next baby in need.

Simply, better sleep monitoring → earlier intervention → fewer disruptions → better neurodevelopmental outcomes → reduced lifetime disease burden.

Our value proposition

Here's what the professional say

“Several babies can be monitored at the same time, even in the dark. It measures light and noise levels, it would be unique.”

- PL neonatologist, Warsaw, 20 years of professional experience

"Great idea, concept. The baby can be observed even in the dark, you don't have to peek constantly.”

- CZ NICU nurse, Prague, 30 years of professional experience

"We constantly look at the babies, we also monitor them constantly at the nurse's desk, but we don't see what happens to them in 3 hours, unless we go there and look inside.”

- HU neonatologist, 10 years of professional experience

Neonatologist opinion summary:

"It would be very important to monitor it continuously, regardless of the time of day. In this regard, the movement parameters of the babies could be suitable prognostic factors regarding their neurological condition.

In addition to the fact that neural development is considered important, there is currently no tool for this."

Nurse opinion summary:

"It is crucial to monitor the development of the nervous system, a more accurate picture of the condition of the babies is available. However, it must be handled in its place, it cannot replace personal presence and it cannot cause a feeling of being watched."
