  Fig. 1 This picture is a schematic diagram of video interview conducted in the NICU. The medical staff needs two cell phones and/or computer, and parents need only a cell phone or a computer. A cell phone or computer in the NICU hosts the conference using ZOOM and uses a cell phone with newborn and parents at home or work. Thus, the video interview allows patients and medical staff to watch patients simultaneously.NICU = neonatal intensive care unit.
