the problem statement

How might we help first-time parents manage their child’s immunisation schedule effortlessly while ensuring accessibility and compliance with national guidelines? New parents often find it stressful to manually track their newborn’s vaccination schedule, despite reminders from healthcare providers, as they juggle other new responsibilities. Additionally, language barriers make it difficult to present vaccination records when traveling, while existing apps lack a seamless way to combine medical records with milestone tracking and family sharing.

 

While the European average stands at just 71 measles cases per 1 million inhabitants, Romania is grappling with an alarming rate of 1,447 cases per 1 million—20 times higher than the regional benchmark.

Key insights

1

Medical Information & Guidance

48% of parents complained about the absent guidance on vaccines and newborn care. They crave centralised, simple, and trustworthy information (e.g., "What side effects are normal?").

2

Fear of Missing Critical Timelines

In the early stages of parenthood, crucial tasks like vaccination schedules and developmental check-ups can be easily forgotten, especially since the sole responsibility of tracking falls on new parents.

3

Real-Time Vaccine Availability

More than 30% of parents reported that they had to buy the vaccines themselves because it was not in stock at the general practitioner.

4

Breastfeeding Support

 

Information is not enough; sometimes parents need to talk to a person. Beyond vaccination, parents need support for daily care, especially breastfeeding.

5

Isolation and Anxiety Are Dismissed

The journey is emotionally taxing. Parents feel isolated, anxious, and need validation from both professionals and those going through the same experience.
