LactApp: The breastfeeding expert in your pocket

By Enric Pallares, LactApp Women Health SL Added 27th Feb, 2020 Updated 28th Apr, 2020

There is a huge scalable demand from new millennial mothers seeking immediate and personalized assessment regarding their maternity experience.

Scientific evidence shows just how critical breastfeeding is to human health and development. Low rates of global breastfeeding impact public health as well as economies. Global economic losses are estimated at $300 billion per year. LactApp provides expert advice through an app using artificial intelligence (AI) in novel use cases like breastfeeding and other women’s health issues.
