SNEAK A PEEK
At MyMilk, we improve the health and wellbeing of new mothers and their babies through direct breast-milk sensing. We developed the Mylee device, a hand held device and mobile health app, that enables a mother, for the first time ever, to get immediate feedback about her breastfeeding process and breast-milk production, by scanning just a few drops of her own milk. We get amazing feedback, like “you saved my breastfeeding”, so it really makes it all worthwhile.
Part of overcoming challenges is knowing your reason why, she says, “We have realized there is a huge vacuum when it comes to tools helping new mothers cope with the challenges of breastfeeding. In the first decades of the 20th century, when medical technologies evolved steeply, women’s needs were not only generally underserved, but also most mothers did not breastfeed, so breastfeeding was basically neglected from advanced diagnostics and advance care. Now we are in exciting times, when breastfeeding rates are high and rising, as the benefits of breastfeeding are well understood, and technology allows us to generate valuable tools for supporting mothers in achieving their goals. As breastfeeding is a significant endeavor for over 100 million mothers every year, and has the potential to impact the lives and health of 100% of future population, we are driven by the potential impact of our solutions.
