Below are several Preemie System products and accessories currently available.
Please note that Preemie Sensor has not yet received the IVD medical certification; it can be sold for research purposes only.
Preemie Sensor is an spectrometer calibrated with human milk and designed to analyse mother’s milk for its nutritional composition.
The Preemie Sensor is calibrated to quantify:
Preemie Sensor “for research purposes only” is currently available for sale. This sensor is not sold with human milk calibrations. We expect to have our medical IVD approval for the UK/EU by the end of 2025 and the USA/Canada by the end of 2026. At that stage you will be able to order Preemie Sensor, calibrated with human milk and for medical use.
Preemie Sensor “for research purposes only” is designed to work with SpecDataTM software described below. This software requires either an Android or an iOS device (tablet or smartphone) to run the SpecData application.

This Package Includes:
The NurvetteTM – is a special demountable patented cuvette that simplifies the process of scanning and ensures that the operator handles the cuvette and sample carefully, reducing the risks of breaking the cuvette glass, dropping the sample, and the risk of forming bubbles in the sample. The actual inside of this cuvette consists of two removable quartz “slides”. One is plain (except for a ‘UV’ inscription) and the other with a 0.1 mm deep sample well;
The Milk Analysis App runs on an Android tablet and operates Preemie Sensor. The user can identify the milk to be analysed by entering the milk ID, or just by scanning a barcode. To analyse the milk, the user places a couple of drops of homogenised breast milk into our patented cuvette, inserts it into the sensor, and presses the scan button. The tablet receives the spectrum from the sensor and sends it to the cloud. After the spectrum has been processed by the AI engine in the cloud, the results of the analysis are displayed on the tablet. This entire process takes less than 30 seconds. The software also enables the user to export or print a report on the results obtained. This software is compliant with GDPR and HIPAA.
Results given by Milk Analysis App
This software works with or without Preemie Sensor. It uses an AI data-driven approach to calculate the recommended personalised fortification of the mother’s milk being used for feeding a specific preterm infant. The process is completely automated, clinicians have a user-friendly interface to prepare, prescribe and track milk fortifications and feeding protocols. The software takes into consideration the fortifiers available, the volume of the milk to be administered, the number of feedings, and relevant clinical data from the infant, and suggests the exact fortifiers to be used as well as their respective volumes in order to achieve the fortification required. Once the feeding is administered, the user can enter the exact volume of milk the infant actually ingested. This software also tracks the correlation of the actual nutritional intake to infant growth indicators such as weight, head circumference, and length. It enables a timestamped visualisation of the nutrition administered and the infant growth charts (Fenton or Olsen), including growth velocity. All the data can be saved in a report, exported, or printed.
NutriNtrack Features
The SpecData™ system uses Preemie Sensor™ and is designed for research purposes. It allows the collection of data that is used later in developing calibration models.
The SpecData™ system has two parts, one that runs on the desktop and is used by the administrator (SpecData desktop app) and the other which runs on mobile devices for use by a team of workers (SpecData mobile app).
The SpecData desktop app is used to set up a project, allocate access to team workers, track work done, and plan work to be done.
The SpecData mobile app has several purposes:
The FortiMixer is a machine that works with the NutriNTrack software to add to the moter’s milk the exact volume of each human milk fortifier needed for targeted fortification.
Currently in development. Not available until 2026.
