Our Story
On a mission to solve feeding and nutritional challenges for preterm infants
Paving the way toward positive growth through better nutrition
NICUtrition® is a state-of-the-art, software solution from Astarte Medical, a precision nutrition company led by a distinguished team and world-class advisors in neonatology, nutrition and microbiome using software and predictive analytics to improve outcomes during the first 1000 days of life.
The first 1000 days of life, from conception to age two, is the most critical time for brain, body, metabolism, and immune system development. It is also the time of most rapid change in the microbiome and, therefore, provides a unique window of opportunity for intervention. Optimal nutrition during this time will have a profound impact on a child’s ability to grow, learn, and thrive.
Astarte Medical is initially focused on the smallest and highest risk patients during this period — preterm infants. Providing the preterm infant with optimal nutrition while in the NICU to achieve the same growth and development of the healthy, growing fetus is the next imperative in neonatal critical care.

We work for babies.
A simple statement. But one that serves as a powerful reminder of our shared purpose and passion. Not just our profession. What we do is not as important as why we do it and how. Babies, especially those born prematurely, are the very expression of love, hope, strength, courage and resilience. We are inspired every day to attempt the impossible, think beyond the boundaries and create innovative solutions that help give these previous little fighters the very best opportunity to grow and enjoy a beautiful, healthier life.
