BBy is a New York City-based company that powders breast milk while preserving its immunological activity for a shelf life of six months [1][2]. The company completed Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch [3] and currently operates with a team of 70 [4]. BBy's technology uses a condensing device to convert milk into powder form, eliminating the need for freezing and defrosting procedures in hospital settings [5]. The company's work addresses inefficiencies in neonatal intensive care units, where nurses traditionally spend significant time preparing frozen milk for patients [5]. BBy's technology has been peer reviewed and published, with implementation across more than twenty hospitals in the New York Tri-State region [5]. The company is led by Vansh Langer MD, trained at Windsor University and the University of Chicago, and Blanca Aguilar Uscanga PhD, with credentials from the University of Guadalajara and Centro Universitario de Ciencias Exactas e Ingenierías [5].
About
- BBy's condensing device turns milk into a fine powder that spares the biome leaving it biologically and immunologically active. This allows hospitals to stop wasting precious nursing time defrosting milk for hours and milk wastage from discarding rules. Simply weigh the powder, add water, shake and serve. No more freezing, no more defrosting, only patient care. NICUs are time sensitive wards in the hospital, time is everything and yet nurses today continue to prepare frozen milk for infants in what's known as the milk shift. A shift where the nurse spends the day defrosting milk for the next shift of nurses. Our tech is now fully peer reviewed and published, yielding safe and reliable results in over 20 hospitals in the New York Tri-State. The company is headed by Vansh Langer MD, a physician (Windsor University, University of Chicago) and Blanca Aguilar Uscanga PhD, a Bioengineering/Food Science PhD (University of Guadalajara /Centro Universitario de Ciencias Exactas e Ingenierías (CUCEI)) team that has over 50 published works in the field between them and are experts in the science of infant nutrition. Vansh saw the immense need for a time critical solution in the NICU and helpe[5]
