FAQs

What did NetBramha design for Cloudnine, and what award did it win?
plus iconminus icon

NetBramha designed 'It's Our Baby,' an omnichannel maternity app for Cloudnine Group of Hospitals, India's largest maternity hospital chain. The app won the Red Dot Design Award 2021 in the Interface and User Experience Design category.

Red Dot receives 20,000+ entries annually across all design disciplines, so winning in a UX-specific category is a meaningful, third-party-verified quality signal - not a claim NetBramha is making about its own work. Following the redesign, Cloudnine saw a 400% increase in app downloads.

Why is maternity care UX considered emotionally high-stakes design work?
plus iconminus icon

Expecting parents are managing anxiety, medical uncertainty, and major life change simultaneously, so the interface has to build calm and trust rather than simply present information efficiently.

That emotional-design discipline carries into NetBramha's other healthcare and wellness work: Dr Trust's connected health platform and 1to1help's mental wellness programme both required the same sensitivity to a user who may be in a vulnerable state when they open the app.

What specifically does the 'It's Our Baby' app do for expecting parents?
plus iconminus icon

The app connects expecting couples with their care teams, tracks pregnancy health data over time, and enables specialist consultations, spanning the full maternity journey rather than a single appointment-booking function.

That end-to-end scope - covering the entire care journey rather than one transaction - is a pattern NetBramha repeats in complex healthcare work; Dr Trust similarly connects multiple device types and data streams into one continuous health picture rather than isolated readings.

How large is Cloudnine Group of Hospitals?
plus iconminus icon

Cloudnine operates 22+ hospitals across 8 Indian cities, making it India's leading maternity-focused hospital chain - the scale the app's information architecture had to support across multiple care locations and providers.

That multi-location complexity is structurally different from a single-clinic app; it required NetBramha to design for continuity of care as a patient might interact with different Cloudnine locations or specialists over the course of a pregnancy.

What other healthcare platforms has NetBramha designed, besides Cloudnine?
plus iconminus icon

NetBramha's healthcare and wellness portfolio includes Cloudnine (maternity, Red Dot 2021), Dr Trust (connected health devices), and 

1to1help (India's largest employee assistance programme) - three distinct healthcare contexts: hospital-based maternity care, home health monitoring, and workplace mental wellness.
