Revolutionizing Newborn Keepsakes for Hospitals and Caregivers

Our scanning technology and purpose-built software fit seamlessly into existing maternity workflows, saving caregivers time while delivering accurate, meaningful digital footprint keepsakes for families.

Do Families Receive a Keepsake
Our system enables hospitals to offer families a free digital newborn footprint keepsake as part of the birth experience. After capture, families receive secure access to download their digital keepsake at no cost, allowing them to save, share, or print the memory in a format that lasts.
Can We Modify the Keepsake
Absolutely, the standard keepsake families receive can be customized by the hospital to reflect its brand and values and may be tailored to include certain visual elements such as logos, images, colors and messaging. This allows families to receive a meaningful keepsake that reflects both the significance of the moment and the hospital’s commitment to care and experience.

Does the Scanner Work For Sensitive Use Cases
In certain sensitive circumstances, including cases of newborn loss, our scanner may be used to capture a digital handprint and footprint keepsake, subject to the condition of the infant and hospital discretion.
Because these situations can vary significantly and have not been formally validated across all scenarios, performance may vary, and capture may not be possible in every case. Hospitals determine whether use of the system is appropriate based on their protocols and the specific circumstances.
When feasible, the system can provide families with a meaningful digital keepsake that may serve as a lasting memory during a difficult time.
