Safely Connecting Parents and Newborns

Couplet Care, Inc. was born of a specific need: new mothers need a safe, comfortable way to reach, soothe, and care for their newborn without relying on nursing staff or family help in their hospital or birthing center room.

Couplet Care develops solutions for improving patient safety and clinical efficiency while promoting positive mother and infant health outcomes.

Our first product is a patented medical infant bassinet, designed to reduce risks to patients, promote clinical productivity, and enhance parent and infant bonding in the birthing facility.

 

The Couplet Care Bassinet is not available for sale or distribution within the United States.

Hospitals are increasingly implementing the practice of couplet care – in which postpartum mothers and newborns are cared for together.

Experts no longer recommend the practice of nursery care. “Rooming-in” enables families to transition through the early postpartum period together, including learning infant cues and establishing responsive parenting practices.

Outdated bassinets expose new mothers to potential risks of pain or injury when attempting to accomplish basic tasks such as comforting, diapering or feeding. Additionally, continued use of traditional bassinets can cause new moms to call nursing staff more often to assist with these essential – but non-medical – care activities.  

 

 Couplet Care has designed a bassinet specifically for parents and their newborns while rooming-in.

Based on extensive research, including observational studies and co-design with parents and healthcare professionals, this new design is expected to:
