AngelEye Health, a leading provider of tele-engagement solutions for hospital neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, announces the introduction of MilkTracker, the fourth solution of the company’s tele-engagement platform. The comprehensive end-to-end feeding and milk inventory management solution is the industry’s most comprehensive and most cost-effective offering for breast milk inventory tracking. The application, designed by clinicians, incorporates patient safety and clinical efficiency as top priorities.
Nurses in NICUs spend thousands of hours every year across 1,500 plus hospitals, managing milk for the nearly 500,000 babies in the United States that require special and often critical care in the first months of their lives. These efforts include not only feeding, but also monitoring, labeling, printing, and logging infant-specific nutrition data. The MilkTracker solution was purpose-built to address these resource challenges offering a simplified way to manage milk inventory while ensuring that the right feed matches the right patient every time, ultimately mitigating risk and enhancing safety throughout the feeding process. More and more hospitals are looking for a streamlined approach to feeding and milk management in their NICUs and pediatric units to keep their patients safe and stay current with best practices.
MilkTracker also supports family-centered care allowing parents to be more engaged in their child’s feeding plan while they also gain increased access to additional lactation education support and resources that may have been previously unavailable to them. With family-centered care being a primary goal in NICUs, clinical teams benefit from new capabilities to improve the delivery and quality of care across the care continuum.
“AngelEye is thrilled to announce the general availability of MilkTracker, our comprehensive end-to-end feeding and milk inventory management solution intended to streamline the logistics of feeding to make the process safer for patients, more efficient for staff, and more engaging for families,” said Christopher Rand, CEO of AngelEye Health. “Our suite of solutions was built specifically to address many of the unique challenges presented in a neonatal and pediatric care environments of which infant-specific, nutritional management is one. With this addition we now offer another layer of support to everyone involved in the care of a hospital’s youngest, most vulnerable patients.”
The HIPAA-compliant MilkTracker solution offers unparalleled patient and family-centered care technology enhancing engagement, support, and education. With the ability to integrate into most major EHRs, the technology allows for automated data entry of feeding and fortification statistics.
Additional features of the feeding and milk inventory management solution include:
Bar-code scanning and electronic medical record integration: Reduces human error, increase efficiency, and helps hospitals automatically track valuable breast milk data. Staff can access the software from both desktop and mobile devices, which flexibly supports bedside nurses as well as milk technicians.
Parent application: Empowers parents to track milk production and visualize their milk inventory at home or in the hospital.
Enhanced communication tools: Allows parents to communicate directly with lactation staff via two-way, HIPAA-compliant messaging to help support breastfeeding and milk production.
MilkTracker is one of four independent solutions accessible on the company's comprehensive HIPAA-compliant platform that offers advanced communication and engagement resources for NICU clinical teams and the families that they support. Other AngelEye solutions include CameraSystem™ which brings live-streaming video of the patient to family members anywhere, anytime, on any device; OnlineEducation™, a parental portal where hospitals can upload customizable education and monitor parents’ progress on the patient’s path to discharge; and PatientConnect™, a one-way communication tool that allows care teams to easily engage with NICU families via text, photo, or video messages. Each product can be deployed independently or used collectively via a single tele-engagement platform.
