Premature Baby Nutrition & Neonatal AI: Isabel Hoffmann on Personalizing NICU Care Premature baby nutrition in most NICUs is standardized -- same fortification dose for every infant, regardless of gestational age, weight, or clinical profile. Isabel Hoffmann, CEO of TellSpec and Preemie Health, built a 30-second sensor that analyzes human milk and generates a personalized fortification prescription matched to each premature baby's clinical data. In this episode of Stories in Life Sciences, we cover: ✅Personalized neonatal nutrition: why standardized fortification over- or under-doses preterm infants ✅Human milk analysis: how near-infrared spectroscopy reads fat, protein, and fatty acids in 30 seconds ✅Federated learning in healthcare: training NICU AI models without sharing patient data across hospitals ✅AI model certification for medical devices: how the FDA freeze-and-resubmit process works ✅Synthetic data in medtech: how TellSpec trained early models using peer-reviewed literature ✅Neonatal intensive care technology: the gap between developed and developing country NICU standards ✅Human milk research gap: why we know less about human milk than dysfunctional erectile dysfunction and what that reveals about research priorities ✅Founder journey: from children's educational software and Apple bundling deals to neonatal AI Who this episode is for: Founders and researchers in medtech, neonatal care, digital health, AI in healthcare, and life sciences commercialization. ----------------------------------------------- Guest: Isabel Hoffmann, CEO - Tellspec & Preemie Health https://tellspec.com https://www.preemiesensor.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/isabelhoffmann https://www.linkedin.com/company/tellspec Host: Christopher Wilson, Founder - MedAxis AI www.medaxisai.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-wilson-medaxisai https://www.linkedin.com/company/medaxisai ----------------------------------------------- Subscribe for new episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MedAxisAI #NeonatalCare #PrematureBaby #HealthcareAI #HumanMilk #MedTech #Biotech #LifeSciences #FederatedLearning

Our CEO @isabelhoffmann.bsky.social sat down on the Stories in Life Sciences podcast to discuss our federated learning platform—helping NICUs build early warning models for preterm disorders without sharing raw data.

Deferred Cord Clamping Associated with Higher First-Recorded Weight in Very Preterm Infants - SurePulse A large, multi-center study conducted by researchers in California has found that deferred cord clamping (DCC) is associated with a […]

As delayed cord clamping becomes more widely adopted, reliable monitoring at birth is increasingly important.

In our latest study, high-risk preterm infants who fail PDA treatment show poorer head growth by 36 weeks CGA. Those who close their PDA do better. PDA outcomes may be shaping early brain growth.

Electroencephalography in Preterm Infants for Predicting Neurodevelopmental Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Diagnostic Test Accuracy Meta-Analysis Electroencephalography (EEG) and amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) have been utilized to predict neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in preterm infants.
