Inspiration

Parents of preterm babies face inconsistent guidance, unclear developmental expectations, social isolation, and difficulty accessing clinicians or local resources. NeoNest was inspired by the need for a single, mobile-first, clinician-validated resource tailored to corrected-age developmental norms.


What it does

NeoNest helps parents:

  • Track their baby’s development with corrected-age milestones
  • Connect with a moderated community of parents and experts
  • Access doctor-backed guidance and an AI-assisted activity/play library (Under development)

How we built it

  • Used React Native + TypeScript for cross-platform mobile app
  • Kiro AI for spec-to-code generation, workflow automation, and test coverage
  • Set up agent hooks for documentation syncing and bug logging
  • Implemented authentication, baby profiles, milestone tracking, community, and web preview
  • Ensured full unit/integration tests, security, and professional UI/UX

Challenges we ran into

  • Corrected age calculations: complex milestone logic requires SME review
  • File structuring & code optimization: Kiro sometimes generated long, unstructured code
  • Managing context for Kiro effectively across large features

What's next for NeoNest

  • Expand corrected-age milestone coverage and expert review
  • Add personalized activity/play recommendations using AI
  • Adding the AI play feature, currently being developed
  • Introduce real-time clinician communication and resource mapping
  • Launch pilot testing with parents for feedback and validation
