Maimonides Health has introduced MilkTracker, a feeding management solution designed to enhance outcomes for staff and families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Developed by AngelEye Health, this technology aims to streamline feeding processes, minimize errors, and boost family involvement.

The MilkTracker clinician app enables healthcare teams to precisely track and manage expressed milk and formula. Meanwhile, the parent app provides families with tools for lactation support, empowering mothers in the feeding process.

"We’re excited to implement this new system, as it provides an invaluable tool for both our care teams and the families we serve," said Alok Bhutada, MD, Director of Neonatology at Maimonides. "By streamlining the feeding process, offering lactation support tools and ensuring transparency, we can enhance family engagement, improve patient safety, and meet regulatory requirements efficiently."

MilkTracker also aids in maintaining regulatory compliance by electronically monitoring critical data related to human milk and formula usage. This reduces human error significantly while ensuring precise record-keeping that aligns with industry standards.

"At AngelEye, we believe that empowering families through technology is key to providing optimal care in the NICU," said Christopher Rand, CEO of AngelEye Health. "MilkTracker not only improves clinical efficiency but also enhances the family’s role in their infant’s care by offering mothers lactation support, fostering better outcomes and stronger connections during this crucial time."

The solution has been adopted by leading hospital systems and is recognized for its impact on patient care and adherence to feeding management regulations. This collaboration underscores Maimonides' dedication to innovative and family-centered NICU care.
