NuBorn Medical Inc, with strong ties to the University of Chicago, develops technology to help premature babies with bottle feeding. The company is developing a "smart" baby bottle that can detect a baby's feeding success and provide immediate feedback on the baby's feeding. The bottle can analyze a baby's sucking and swallowing to identify undetectable problems such as milk entering the baby's lung. Premature babies often struggle to gain weight and this solution gives doctors the information they need to diagnosis why that is, leading to a thriving baby, more confident parents, and shorter hospital stays.
