Founded by Kelly Gallagher, a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) mom, this nonprofit organization was created as a resource for NICU families in their time of need. One of the many ways The Superhero Project assists families is by helping hospitals purchase AngelEye camera systems. These cameras are mounted inside infant incubators and give parents secure livestream video, thus allowing them to remotely observe their baby. This technology gives parents the ability to receive clinical updates during surgical events or stored content from daily rounds, share updates with extended family and friends, and review educational materials and video, even after discharge.
The Superhero Project has collaborated with seven Delaware Valley area hospitals to support the installation of this bedside technology.
Princeton Medical Center Foundation recently partnered with The Superhero Project and will purchase cameras later this year. This interactive technology is quickly becoming a standard of clinical excellence in most NICUs, and we are eager to offer it to those families who need it.
