PHOENIX â A Valley hospital is finding a new way to connect loved ones to their little ones.
Within the past three weeks, HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center fully launched a new camera system, known as angel eye, to help families who have babies in the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU.
The 42 cameras allow families, through an app, to constantly keep an eye on their newborn. With COVID, we actually have shut down to parents only, said Mary Luster, the senior clinical director in the NICU. So, poor grandparents who, if they have a baby in the NICU for two, three months, they never get to see that baby in person.
