nfant® Thrive | For Providers

Improving the standard of feeding care in NICUs across the U.S

nfant® Feeding Solution provides real time biofeedback and objective metrics to support clinicians caring for infants who are struggling to feed.

Real-time data to support your cue-based feeding approach

Feeding difficulty is experienced by up to 70 percent of premature infants and up to 10 percent of full-term infants born in the U.S. nfant® Feeding Solution supports the standard clinical visual assessment with objective feeding data, progress tracking and evidence-based tools that optimize the transition to oral feeding.

How it works

The only FDA-cleared medical product that measures sucking performance during actual nutritional intake, nfant® Feeding Solution enables you to identify the infants who need more support, see the impact of your interventions in real time, and ensure continuity of care.

Smart Bottles

Any standard bottle can be turned into a smart device that measures sucking performance using the nfant® Coupling and nfant® Sensor, enabling a seamless integration into your existing NICU workflow.

Nipples

nfant® Nipples combine developmentally supportive liquid flow rates with the most consistent performance of any nipple currently on the market. Learn more about our Control Flow Nipples.

Mobile App

Feeding signal metrics are sent wirelessly and instantaneously to your tablet. View the impact of your interventions in real time, and track and individualize care for each infant.

Analytics

Review objective feeding metrics for each intervention, compare feedings to full term metrics, generate reports and maintain continuity of care with nfant® Analytics.

Proven Results

We developed the first FDA-cleared IoT neurological biofeedback device for newborns, and now we’re putting that same technology in the hands of parents like you. Our patented technology has proven to help infants thrive in NICUs across the U.S. and at top hospitals and institutions.

“The nfant Feeding system has been instrumental in bringing best practices to the bedside through educating parents, staff and physicians on the individual infant’s skills.”

Studies and Publications

A study published in the Journal of Perinatal and Neonatal Nursing demonstrates how visual feedback combined with objective sucking performance metrics can be used to compare sucking skill pre/post-intervention and facilitate evidence-based decisions that optimize and personalize feeding.

Initial results of a study to measure sucking abnormalities in infants with established brain injury in the NICU, published in Nature – Journal of Perinatology, shows that noninvasive quantitative assessment of nutritive sucking at bedside using the nfant® Feeding Solution may potentially be used as a biomarker for neonatal brain damage.

A study published in Frontiers in Pediatrics – Neonatology details advancements that may assist and enhance current NICU protocols for protecting the neonatal brain and features the nfant® Feeding Solution.

A peer-reviewed study featuring nfant® Feeding Solution, published in Early Human Development, showed objective feeding metrics produced by nfant®Analytics predicted the feeding-related length of stay of preterm and full-term infants. These findings reflect the emerging consensus that objective assessment of feeding ability during a hospital stay may help identify infants at risk for delay in discharge or readmission.
