Not worth it

Gave me a GIR of -1.2

Great Tool

This is a great tool for making fast nutrition calculations in the NICU! As a Registered Dietitian, it has saved me a lot of time and accuracy. Easy to use and conveniently packaged (smart phone). Most infant formulas available as well as capability to add customized formulas. Great interface between TPN and formulas. Support readily available. Highly recommended!

Excellent NICU Nutrition App

As a neonatal dietitian in a 70 bed level IV NICU I use this app everyday! The custom feature for formulas is my favorite.

Review

Very helpful app for dietitian and other medical team staff to have on hand when calculating nutrition intake in preterm infants. Excellent feature that allows you to add and customize your own formulas and/or additives.

Excellent Neonatal Tool

Great for anyone who needs to monitor and fine tune the nutritional intake for premies.
The developer is receptive to improving this app.
Looking forward to seeing this app continue to grow.

NNP

Love this app. Great upgrade! Would like to see 26 cal/oz fortification for breast milk using Sim HMF HP. Thanks

Great app

Really like the app works well and is very useful during rounds. It would be nice if you could select a product and add a fortifier separately to make it easier to add custom formula or analyzed BM

Review

Excellent idea. Must calculate the percentage of calories from protein/carbs/lipids independently in order monitor adequate ratios

Nutrition in neonates

This is an excellent tool to keep track of all aspects of nutitional support in premies in the NICU. It is a handy tool to do quick calcs during rounds.

Nutritional Management

Very convenient app for calculating day-today needs of a micropremie with almost all options of formulas including types of breast milk, speciality formula and TPN. It calculates micronutrient sufficiency as well. You can even customize it to your babies mix of formula contents. Great app for dietian in NICU as well for any provider keen on making babies grow

This app saves a lot of time in quick assessment of key nutrients.

Great app.

Very useful.

Excellent tool for calculating and monitoring nutrion

Very useful tool for calculating, tracking IV and enteral nutrition. Provides alot of options (many different formulas and caloric densities). Ease and speed make it useful on rounds to verify nutrition of each infant. Look forward to more info in the results window. The associated video is very well done so that even the novice can get full use out of the APP within minutes. Few other apps provide this type of support for the new user.

A great tool!!

This app is very useful and simple to use! I can see how it would save a great deal of time in a very busy NICU/PICU setting. I would love to see the expansion of formula options but it's a great start!!

NICU calculator

Very useful app. Looking forward to seeing it develop over time.

Useful App

This app is okay for it's beginning stage. It would be better if the lipids just like the feeds were calculated separately from the TPN since they have to be deducted anyway...The end calculations by the program causes the GIR cal to be skewed.....if the lipids are not included, then the GIR cal is correct. Most NICU's do not mix the TPN and lipids together, they are sent to the unit as separate infusion bags.
