Non-Nutritive Suckling System for Real-Time Characterization of Intraoral Vacuum Profile in Full Term Neonates
Non-Nutritive Suckling System for Real-Time Characterization of Intraoral Vacuum Profile in Full Term Neonates 1884 2560 IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine (JTEHM)
Infant breastfeeding diagnostics remain subjective due to the absence of instrumentation to objectively measure and understand infant oral motor skills and suckling characteristics. Qualitative diagnostic exams, such as the digital… read more
Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of the breastfeeding diagnostic device (BDD) consisting of a pressure recording and transmitting unit and a data receiving and processing unit. Intraoral pressure is probed by an air-filled non-collapsible tubing with one end taped to the maternal or bottle nipple and the other end connected to a silicon-based pressure transducer. The measured pressure value is digitized and transmitted wirelessly to the data receiving and processing unit for data display, processing, storage and interface with users.
