Nicolette is a digital health technology company founded in 2016, headquartered in Long Beach, California, specializing in patient empowerment tools for families facing acute health challenges, particularly in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).[1][2][3] Its flagship product, NicoBoard, is a parent-facing dashboard app that visualizes electronic medical record (EMR) data, provides tailored education, conversational insights, interactive visuals, action prompts, curated research, and a healthcare team directory, enabling parents to actively participate in their premature baby's care plan.[1][2][3] NicoBoard serves NICU parents and providers, solving the problem of information overload and disenfranchisement by translating complex health data into understandable formats; hospitals supply specialized tablets, but parents can also use personal devices.[1][2][3] With revenue around $384,000 and a small team of under 25 employees (3-59 reported), Nicolette has empowered over 2,000 NICU families and secured a patent for its technology in 2023, showing steady growth through partnerships like RosettaHealth for data exchange and co-development with pediatric health systems.[1][2][3][4]
Nicolette was co-founded by Phil Martie, who serves as CEO, inspired by his personal experience as a parent of extremely premature twins born three and a half months early in the NICU, where he and his wife felt lost, powerless, and overwhelmed by critical health decisions amid complex data.[3] Established in 2016, the company emerged from this need to empower patients as "competent peers" with providers from day one, starting with NicoBoard for NICU settings to transform raw EHR data into accessible tools.[1][2][3] Early traction included implementations aiding over 2,000 families, a 2021 integration with RosettaHealth for health data exchange, and a 2023 patent award, alongside Cathy Nicolette as COO leading operations from Long Beach.[1][2][3][4]
Nicolette rides the digital health and patient empowerment trend, capitalizing on rising demand for accessible EMR data amid growing NICU admissions (affecting ~10% of U.S. births) and post-pandemic emphasis on family-centered care.[2][3] Timing aligns with healthcare's shift to value-based models prioritizing education and engagement, bolstered by policy pushes for patient access to records (e.g., via FHIR standards) and AI-driven personalization.[2] Market forces like EHR interoperability mandates and venture interest in health tech (e.g., Seed Healthcare's portfolio spotlight) favor Nicolette, influencing the ecosystem by setting standards for visual data tools that reduce provider burden and improve outcomes in high-acuity settings.[1][3]
Nicolette is poised to scale NicoBoard across pediatric and adult departments through verbal co-development agreements with health systems, aiming for global ubiquity on personal devices to cover acute and chronic care.[3] Trends like AI-enhanced EMR visualization, expanded telehealth, and regulatory data-sharing will accelerate growth, potentially boosting revenue beyond $384K via broader implementations.[1][3] Its influence may evolve from NICU niche to ecosystem leader in empowerment tech, humanizing care as founders envisioned—turning helpless families into empowered partners.[3]
Nicolette has raised $50K in total across 1 funding round.
