Redesigning the Neonatal ICU informed students about current challenges in the NICU environment through expert speakers, literature, CAPE simulations, and field trips. Simultaneously, we studied the users: their environment, their behavior, and emotions. Students developed innovative products and applications to improve care and communication between clinicians and parents.
