Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a smart breast pump system that includes at least one sensor to monitor the expression of breast milk. The smart breast pump system may further include a mobile device which wirelessly receives sensor data from the at least one sensor. Additionally, the smart breast pump system may further include at least one server device, which wirelessly receives sensor data from the at least one mobile device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a breast pump. The breast pump includes a milk capture system that includes a cupped flange. The cupped flange includes a nipple recess for receiving a nipple. The breast pump further includes a manifold which may be removably connected to the cupped flange. The manifold includes a nipple cavity in which vacuum suction is applied to a nipple. The manifold further includes a spout that drains milk away from the vacuum suction. The breast pump further includes a milk collection system which is removably connected to the manifold. The milk collection system includes a milk receptacle for containing milk expressed from a breast. Further disclosed is a breast pump system which includes a milk capture system, a manifold, and a milk collection system.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a breast pump sensor network. The breast pump sensor network includes an emitter disposed within a bodily fluid capture system and a detector disposed within the bodily fluid capture system. Further disclosed is a method for controlling the breast pump sensor network which includes emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation within a bodily fluid capture system, detecting one or more drops of body fluid within the bodily fluid capture system, determining a bodily fluid flow rate based at least on the detected one or more drops of bodily fluid, and providing the determined bodily fluid flow rate to at least one user.
