Infants with neurological or developmental challenges often experience feeding difficulties due to poor suck–swallow–breath coordination. Current clinical assessment methods rely heavily on subjective observation, which increases risks for unsafe or inefficient feeding. Our project seeks to design an objective monitoring tool to track feeding maturity in infants. This tool addresses a critical gap in neonatal and pediatric care. Socially, it supports infant health and family well-being by reducing risks of aspiration or malnutrition. Economically, it may lower hospital readmissions and length of stay, thereby reducing healthcare costs. Ethically, it provides clinicians with objective data that can guide safer, evidence-based interventions, ultimately improving equity in neonatal care.
