Research behind the app
The development of the Baby Comfort Guide app is accompanied by scientific research. Researchers from the Chair of Social Pediatrics at the Technical University work together with other national and international scientists and clinical experts.
In addition, ongoing research focuses on crying, sleeping, feeding, and other challenges during the first years of life. The aim is to generate new insights and use robust scientific findings to provide parents with the best possible support.
Studies related to Baby Comfort Guide:
- App-based intervention for parents of children with crying, sleeping, and feeding problems: Usability, usefulness and implications for improvement – ScienceDirect
- Effects of a Mobile-Based Intervention for Parents of Children With Crying, Sleeping, and Feeding Problems: Randomized Controlled Trial – JMIR mHealth and uHealth
We continously evaluate the app, examining how parents use it and which features are helpful in their daily lives.
We are currently conducting another survey to evaluate our Baby Comfort Guide app, looking at how parents use the app and which features help them in their daily lives. For this, we are looking for participants who use the app and are willing to complete an anonymous online questionnaire taking about 5â10 minutes to share their assessment.
As a thank you, weâre giving away 5 Ă 20⏠dm vouchers to participants selected randomly.
We appreciate your support – thank you very much!
