Baby Check is a mobile application developed in collaboration with The Lullaby Trust which designed to support parents and caregivers in assessing the health of infants aged 0–6 months. Determining when to seek medical attention can be challenging, particularly for non-clinical users. Imobisoft developed a structured, symptom-based assessment tool that translates user input into a clear risk classification using a Red–Amber–Green system. By combining clinical logic with intuitive mobile design, the solution enables faster, more confident decision-making and promotes timely medical intervention when needed.
The challenge
Parents of newborns frequently face a critical question:
“Is this serious enough to seek medical help?”
Key challenges included:
- Limited access to reliable, easy-to-use triage tools for infants
- High levels of anxiety and uncertainty among caregivers
- Risk of delayed medical intervention
- The need for a solution that is clinically aligned yet simple to use
- Ensuring the tool supports, not replaces, professional medical advice
The client required a trusted, safety-first digital solution that could guide decision-making in a clear and responsible way.

- Ensured a conservative, safety-first approach to risk evaluation
Risk stratification modelling
- Developed a robust algorithm to categorise risk levels
- Implemented clear thresholds to prioritise safety and early intervention
Human-centred UX
- Simplified complex medical assessments into easy-to-answer questions
- Designed for use in high-stress situations
