The study demonstrated the feasibility of using the MyLee breastmilk sensor to monitor milk conductivity at home as an indicator for breastfeeding challenges. This technology tracks the progress of milk production in high resolution, by computing milk maturation based on conductivity as a reflector of electrolyte levels, particularly sodium ions, dynamics of which are known indicators of successful breastfeeding.
In a study involving over 500 mothers, the sensor reliably identified patterns linked to breastfeeding progress and challenges such as delayed milk production and low supply. By providing real-time, data-driven insights, MyLee empowers mothers and healthcare providers to detect potential breastfeeding issues early, supporting better breastfeeding outcomes.
The retrospective analysis of the real-world data was done in collaboration lead by Dr. Navarro,
