MilkShaker: Automated Mastitis Prevention for Breastfeeding Women
MilkShaker is a fully-automated wearable to prevent mastitis and clogged milk ducts in breastfeeding women. Designed alongside certified physical therapists, our technology accurately mimics stimulated lymphatic drainage massages from certified specialists within the comfort of home. The device itself is a bra-like wearable device with a built-in mechanism that continuously massages the breasts to move fluid outward towards the underarm lymph nodes. By pushing lymph fluid from the top and bottom of the breast away from the nipple and milk ducts, our device can effectively prevent the fluid from mixing with milk and causing clogged milk-ducts or, more severely, mastitis.
