Graham’s Foundation is thrilled to announce a long-awaited major update of our MyPreemie app, available in English and Spanish and on Android and iOS. We are incredibly grateful to Scott Kronheim of Leading Way Solutions for his team’s extensive work on this project over the past year and a half, which involved rewriting the application from the ground up.

The MyPreemie app is a complete toolkit for the unique practical and emotional needs of families of premature babies. This app was originally donated to Graham’s Foundation by the authors of Preemies: The Essential Guide for Parents of Premature Babies. We’ve now done the hard work of modernizing the app, building a solid base to add new functionality and keep the app current. We’ve merged the iOS and Android code into one code base, so that features are now consistent across platforms and the app will be easier to update. The modernizations we’ve made have fixed a lot of bugs and will make the app much more stable.

The biggest update for users is that all information you enter into the app is now automatically and securely stored in the cloud. This allows multiple family members, friends, or caregivers to log in to an account on different devices and have access to view and update the same information, and prevents data loss if you lose your phone or switch to a new device. Cloud storage and better ways to export and share data were some of the most requested app updates over the past few years.

This app holds a lot of information, offering space for tracking milestones, statistics, and making lists. With this update we’ve made user interface changes that streamline data entry, including an improved feeding log. You can also look forward to improved display and functionality on tablets, iPads, and larger phones.

The MyPreemie App continues to offer a wide range of features that support parents of preemies:
- Pocket Guide: Information on over one hundred health, developmental, and parenting issues of prematurity.
- Suggested Questions: To help you ask doctors and nurses about your premature baby.
- Diary: A beautifully illustrated baby book with prompts focusing on the experiences of prematurity to make it easy for you to document daily events, feelings, and photos.
- Trackers: Record your baby’s daily weight, length, and head size and compare those stats to preemie growth charts.
- Remember to Ask List: Automatically logs the suggested questions you tag with spaced to add your own, so that they’re handy when the doctor comes around.
- To Do List: To keep your tasks organized.
- Treasured Mementos: A checklist of objects for you to gather as precious keepsakes.
- Share: Easily update family and friends by sharing any page to Facebook, email, print, or save as pdf.

“We are forever grateful to Dana Linden, Dr. Mia Doron, and Emma Trenti Paroli for their contributions and support at the onset and faith in Graham’s Foundation to continue our commitment to caring for the app that they launched. We are proud of the improvements we have made and these updates will help ensure it continues to be a trusted resource for preemie parents well into the future,” said Founder, Nicholas Hall.
