A report published by the UK government set out the ‘vision for brilliance’ for the 1001 critical days of a baby’s life (starting conception), and the importance of this time period. It is this period that lays the foundation for a baby’s emotional and physical wellbeing, throughout his or her life. Besides the healthcare system, parents play a critical role in the first 1001 days of baby’s development. Currently, the paper red book is a key tool used by the parents, provided by NHS.
Digitalisation of the red book is a critical component to achieve this vision. NHS has made significant steps towards the digitalisation process. Nurturey PinkBook is playing a leading role in supporting and fulfilling this vision set out by the government.
Touted as the smartest digital upgrade for the NHS paper red book, Nurturey PinkBook is a pregnancy and child health app that supports women and parents at every stage of their pregnancy and parenting.

Nurturey PinkBook receives the birth notification from the NHS and on tapping the birth announcement, the baby is added to your family. Birth details such as name, location, time, etc are fetched from the NHS systems, needing no added effort from the parents - the perfect setup for new parents, who have a million other things to do!
How to take care of a newborn. Newborn (0-3 months)
During the first 3 months, parents have a lot of things to keep track of, and Nurturey PinkBook makes sure they don’t feel stressed about any of it. One of the foremost health events during this time is a newborn’s vaccination schedule.
The PinkBook sends timely reminders for upcoming vaccination, including sending NHS guidance to help prepare parents. Once the baby gets vaccinated, PinkBook receives a message from the NHS, containing the details of the child’s vaccination. Parents can access this information in the Vaccination tool, which consists of the past and upcoming vaccinations, NHS guidance and helpful charts to keep a track of the vaccinations.
The PinkBook helps parents with trusted NHS information, advanced tools and health information fetched from the NHS systems track a child’s growth and development
