Problem
Nurses face significant time demands from repetitive infant formula preparation tasks, diverting their attention from direct patient care. This manual process also introduces variability in accuracy and carries a risk of cross-contamination or patient misidentification.
Solution
Neollie provides an automated robotic system designed to precisely prepare and dispense infant formula, including the accurate addition of prescribed fortifiers. By automating these time-intensive procedures, the system frees up nursing staff to focus on patient interaction and clinical duties. The robotic solution enhances accuracy and safety through controlled dispensing and storage, mitigating the risks associated with manual preparation. This operational efficiency also addresses the projected nursing shortages by optimizing existing staff resources.
Target Audience
The primary customers are healthcare facilities, including hospitals and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), that employ nursing staff responsible for infant feeding preparation.
