Is targeted fortification cost-beneficial?

Preemie system is the first end-to-end solution for the management of infant feeding

Prematurity is not only the leading cause of mortality in children but can also result in devastating diseases such as necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), as well as in long-term disorders and sequelae such as visual and hearing problems. Besides the tremendous impact on the quality of life of preterm infants and their families, the economic burden for the whole society is huge.

The Preemie system is the first product ecosystem created for neonatal professionals and human milk bank operators, to help them personalise and track the nutritional intake of each preterm infant, and thereby reduce the risks associated with premature birth.

Reduces the time for preparation and feeding, to lower costs

Minimises errors in the milk management and fortification process

Supports infant safety by testing milk for spoilage and high somatic cell count

Improves health outcomes by personalising infant nutrition

Enables exact fortification prescription based on the infant’s growth history correlated with nutritional intake

Enables tailored pooling of donor milk for high-quality deliveries

Reliable tracking of milk from donation to delivery

The Preemie ecosystem

The Preemie ecosystem is composed of the Preemie sensor, supported by an Artificial Intelligence computation engine working in the cloud, and a portfolio of four desktop and mobile applications specifically designed to help Neonatal Intensive Care Units and Human Milk Banks to address the nutritional needs of preterm infants.

The Preemie system is currently being validated by the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology of the Sant’Anna Hospital (associated with the University of Turin, Italy) and it is undergoing the procedure to obtain CE Marking as an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Preemie system
For the Neonatal Intensive care Units

1.Preemie Fortification software for Neonatal Intensive Care Units

This software works with the Preemie sensor, and allows Neonatal Intensive Care Units to test milk composition, freshness, and safety, to automatically calculate the fortification recommended for each preterm infant, and to store and keep track of key data about infants’ nutrition and growth.

Perform human milk composition analysis
Test human milk for spoilage and safety
Automatically calculate the suggested fortification based on key reference parameters
Enter, save, and store data about infant nutrition in compliance with GDPR
Produce, save, and export reports on infants’ nutrition and growth

2. Preemie Feeding Tracker software for Neonatal Intensive Care Units

This software works with or without the Preemie sensor, and allows users at Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) to track and manage each infant’s nutritional intake, correlate it with the infant’s growth, and prescribe the fortification needed based on the specific approach of the NICUs.

Manage infant’s nutrition intake and growth over time
Correlate actual intake and growth indicators
Automatically suggest the fortification needed based on the specific approach of the NICU
Make a digital prescription of the fortification on a regular basis
Get insights and metadata on the evolution of the infant’s health status

Preemie system
For the Human Milk Banks

1.Preemie Milk Quality software for Human Milk Banks

This software works with the Preemie sensor, and allows users at Human Milk Banks to test milk composition, freshness, and safety, to store all the key data about donors milk, and to label the milk for comprehensive traceability.

Perform human milk composition analysis
Test human milk for spoilage and safety
Print labels with information, such as nutritional information, that can be placed on the milk bags

2.Preemie Milk Tracker software for Human Milk Banks

This software works with or without the Preemie sensor, and allows users at Human Milk Banks to track and manage donor milk history and to optimise the pooling process for getting tailored pooled milk.

Management of the donor milk received
Automatic optimization of pooled milk in order to produce a tailored pool milk with specific nutritional content
Print labels including history data and nutritional content for each donor and pooled milk bag
Store relevant data about donor milk in compliance with GDPR

Lung ultrasound scores >10 at 3, 7 & 14 days in infants < 29 weeks highly predictive of BPD. Should this be a standard approach to... better advise parents? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34237347/

Hmmm...
Preemies 24-28 weeks' gestation admitted NICU
⬆️5 min Apgar score assoc with mortality in a graded manner
✅Among survivors , ... low Apgar scores did not predict severe neurological injury.
