AI tool to recommend total parenteral nutrition formulation for infants in the NICU.
About the Technology
Infants in the NICU require specific total parenteral nutrition (TPN) formulation based on their health condition. The process of creating the formulation is often unstructured and inefficient, relying heavily on judgment and intuition. Neonatologists spend a lot of time coordinating with pharmacists and dieticians, limiting their time spent with patients and parents. The Infant Nutrition team has created an AI software that automatically determines TPN compositions for an infant based on their specific situation. This solution improves hospital efficiency and reduces staff overhead. The HIT fund will be used toward the clinical pilot at Stanford.
