Abstract:
The present invention relates to system and methods for assessing and improving an infant's oral feeding skills. The system comprises a “smart” baby feeding device comprising an instrumented baby bottle with a battery-powered monitoring module wirelessly connected to a remote device (e.g., smart phone, tablet, laptop, PC, data processing device). The purpose of the remote device is to monitor (in real time) and measure the frequency and quality of feedings of new-born babies to help optimize feeding development by providing real-time feeding performance information back to the caregiver. The information collected is of assistance in minimizing feeding difficulties and correcting feeding deficiencies.

Claim (Index 1):
A feeding system for feeding a person with a nutrient liquid, and for assessing the person's oral feeding skills, comprising:\n a feeding bottle; sensor means operatively associated with the feeding bottle for measuring one or more parameters of liquid ingested by the person during a feeding session; and a computer processing unit (CPU) programmed for monitoring and analyzing sensor data generated by the sensor means; wherein the CPU is programmed to calculate an Oral Feeding Skill (OFS) level by comparing the one or more parameters of liquid ingested by the person during the feeding session to one or more pre-selected cutoff values; and wherein an OFS scale defines a range of feeding performance characteristics.
