Project Overview
Our project aims to design a device and application that helps breastfeeding parents accurately measure, heat, catalog, and track breast milk storage efficiently. Traditional methods of manually tracking milk storage and expiration are prone to errors. Our system integrates a smart scale, label printer, and mobile app to streamline the process.
