Huntington NICU Adds Advanced Technology to Keep Parents Connected to Their Newborns

AngelEye Health’s CameraSystem Provides Families with Real-Time Access to Infant Care

Huntington Health, an affiliate of Cedars-Sinai, today announced the addition of AngelEye Health’s CameraSystem to its neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), enhancing the ability for families to stay connected with their newborns during critical moments of care. The system includes 32 state-of-the-art camera devices designed to provide secure, live-streaming video access for families anytime, anywhere, on any device.

This innovative technology allows parents to see their baby 24/7, offering reassurance and strengthening emotional bonds when they are unable to be at the bedside. The platform also supports secure, HIPAA-compliant communication, enabling care teams to share updates, photos and videos directly with families.

“The implementation of AngelEye reflects Huntington Health’s commitment to innovation by embracing advanced technology to improve care delivery and the patient-family experience,” said Jinhee Nguyen, senior vice president, chief operating officer and chief nursing officer, Huntington Health. “By strengthening connections between families and caregivers, the hospital continues to advance its mission of delivering expert, compassionate care for every patient, every time.”

Research consistently shows that parent involvement plays a vital role in an infant’s success in the NICU. By increasing engagement, communication and transparency, the AngelEye CameraSystem helps families remain active participants in their baby’s care journey while fostering trust between clinicians and caregivers.

“This new technology is proven to help reduce the stress and anxiety of parents with a child in the NICU, fostering stronger connections when parents are unable to be at the bedside and providing a seamless way for them to be essential members of the care team,” said Amy Pendleton, director of women’s and children’s services at Huntington Hospital. “We believe this system provides a new level of comfort, confidence and communication for the neonatal program as a whole.”

This milestone would not have been possible without the generous support of Huntington Hospital donors and Panda Cares, the philanthropic arm of Panda Express, whose funding made the AngelEye system possible. Their continued commitment to supporting children and families brings hope to patients in need.

The addition of AngelEye CameraSystem is now part of Huntington Hospital’s enhance family-centered care to improve clinical outcomes and ensure that every family feels supported throughout their NICU journey. To learn more about Huntington Hospital NICU care, go to: https://hh.echofactory.dev/NICU
