Helping Preterm Babies Get a Healthy Start In Life

Our Mission

Imagine a world where all babies born too soon or with low birth weight are given the best nutrition possible, thus providing them with their greatest chance at having a healthy start in life, free of preterm related disorders such as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or life-long disabilities.

Our goal is to empower neonatologists, nurses, and human milk bank professionals with the most comprehensive feeding management system, which helps them personalise and track the nutritional intake of each infant over time, allows the analysis of the composition of donor milk, guides the process of fortification, and provides important analytics of the correlation between feeding and each infant’s.

Our mission is to improve the care of premature babies, and help accelerate progress towards the goal of decreasing deaths and life-longing disabilities due to preterm birth. We believe that premature babies have the right to a healthy start in life.

Preemie’s GDPR-compliant system significantly lowers the nurses’ time spent on fortification preparation and on milk management. It reduces errors and automatically generates an audit trail for the process, while supporting infant safety by testing donor milk not only for macronutrients but also for spoilage and high somatic cell count.

Our dedicated team of experts and advisors within the field of human milk research, neonatology, spectroscopy, sensor technology, software, chemistry, chemometrics, mathematics, and machine learning, have developed the most innovative and breakthrough feeding system to help premature babies have a healthy start in life.
