The Precision Gap in Preterm Nutrition
Premature birth is a global crisis, costing billions and impacting 15 million families annually. For these infants, nutritional support is a primary medical therapy, intended to prevent disease, enabling brain and lung development, and mimic in-utero growth. While breast milk is the essential nutritional foundation for its immune-protective benefits, its highly variable composition is often inadequate for preterm infants’ needs. It must be fortified to meet international nutritional guidelines, such as the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) recommendations, and prevent life-threatening complications.
Standard Fortification
Adds a fixed amount of fortifier, ignoring milk’s natural variability. This leads to under-nutrition (impairing growth) or over-nutrition (increasing metabolic risks).
Targeted Fortification
Requires complex daily milk analysis and manual calculations that are currently based only on weight and gestational age. It is too operationally burdensome and, critically, ignores the infant’s clinical status, such as the onset of NEC, BPD, or neonatal sepsis.
The result is that currently neonatologists are forced to make life-altering decisions with incomplete data. This precision gap creates preventable complications and unsustainable costs, highlighting the urgent need for intelligent tools to enable confident, data-driven nutritional strategies for preterm infants.
