Gingiber Labs Inc.

Gingiber Labs Inc. is a for-profit organization that provides technology services and solutions to the healthcare industry. Through federal grants, Gingiber Labs develops mobile and web applications aimed at improving health outcomes for families and infants.

Gingiber Labs has received federal funding to work as a subcontractor on research grants related to pediatric and obstetric healthcare. As a subcontractor to Northwestern University, Gingiber Labs developed a mobile application called NICU2Home to engage parents of infants in the NICU. It also developed an application called Nursery2Home, merging its NICU2Home application with an existing perinatal collaborative care program. For the Nursery2Home application, Gingiber Labs conducted user research, designed the user interface and system architecture, developed the mobile and web application, and evaluated the system through patient interviews. The goal was to improve health services for mothers, fathers, and infants in the first year of life. Gingiber Labs also partnered with Northwestern University on a project called Smart NICU2Home to support Illinois families of premature infants with smartphone technology. Across its subawards, Gingiber Labs provided technology development, design, deployment, and evaluation services aimed at enhancing communication and healthcare delivery for new parents and infants.
