Feeding Care is a project aiming to design and implement a new intelligent system to manage the feeding of expressed breast milk, donor human milk, and formula milk in the healthcare facilities.

Precision is a key issue when treating with children nutrition, especially for premature babies. Nowadays, neonatology hospital facilities have to deal with a high variability associated with the milk management process, and thus, they have to consider several variables affecting the quality of both milk and assistance.Time and temperature are key factors that need to be traceable, as they can promote milk degradation, thus directly affecting on children health. This system will also implement a support guide to healthcare professionals in order to ensure quality and security.

This project aims to make use of several technologies in the market in order to improve traceability of the variables and processes affecting milk quality. Our goal is to develop a new solution that will integrate several devices in order to get the best control of the milk feeding process in hospital.
