Nurtured by Design is the first company in its class and we are breaking ground in the area of evidence-based ergonomic devices for neonatal developmental care and brain maturation.
As the global leader of neonatal ergonomics we provide solutions that significantly improve the environment/habitat of newborns in thousands of homes and hundreds of hospitals globally. Our products have been independently and clinically evaluated and positively recommended by families and important personalities and institutions in the healthcare industry globally.
We remain loyal to our philosophy of researching the importance of the parents in the care of the babies and how to positive integrate them in each of our designs.
More than a portfolio of commercial products, we create devices inspired on human nature and maternal instinct that actually save lives and improve the quality of life of babies, families, and society at large - for a lifetime.
This independent clinical research about the Zaky [maternal simulated intervention] was presented at the American Public Health Association's (APHA) Annual Meeting (Washington DC, Nov. 2011), and at the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) Annual Conference (Palm Springs, CA, Oct. 2012)

Since our first’s days as Zakeez, Inc. where our founder first invented The Zaky to save her own son, to our evolution as Nurtured by Design, we have always privileged the safety, sound development and stability of the baby, the natural desire of the parents to heal and nurture their newborn, and the need of professionals to provide the best care in each stage and area of developmental care to multiple babies simultaneously.
Behind every product there is a multidisciplinary team of professionals and families led by Yamile Jackson, (PhD in ergonomics engineering) supporting the success from product conception to implementation. Each product development project has a duration of around three years before the product is released to market.
The dedication of Dr. Jackson and the team to each stage of design and development has positioned us as pioneers in the creation of devices where the human factor is the most relevant differentiator.
We are working with several institutions in developing ergonomic solutions that meet their individual needs.
Contact us if you have identified an area in need for improvement, or need or have an idea for a new product that would solve a problem. We can provide assistance in all or any step from product or process improvement conception to manufacturing and marketing.
