System for assisting the personalized preparation of infant formula including a connected electronic scale

An electronic scale for assisting preparation of an infant formula in an infant feeding container, the electronic scale comprising:

• a weighing unit with a user interface,
• a control unit, and
• a communication module arranged to communicate with a computer hosting a computer program, the computer program executable on the computer for assisting the preparation of the infant formula in the infant feeding container using the electronic scale, the electronic scale arranged in communication with the computer,
• wherein the computer program is configured to:
• store at least one personal infant profile comprising information related to an identified infant,
• pair an infant formula product selected from a plurality of infant formula products with the at least one personal infant profile, and
• compute from the pairing of the infant formula product and the at least one personal infant profile, a coaching instruction set comprising preparation information and instruction data, the instruction data selected from the group consisting of a time related to a frequency or period of preparation of the infant formula, a number of preparations per day, infant formula product information, and combinations thereof,
• the coaching instruction set enabling control of operations of the electronic scale for the preparation of an individual infant formula,
• the coaching instruction set configured to be communicated to or be generated by the scale for enabling the scale for the control of the operations,
• wherein the electronic scale comprises a coaching program configured for selecting an infant profile and controlling the operations of the infant formula preparation according to the coaching instruction set received from the computer, the coaching instruction set resulting from the pairing of at least one personal infant profile and the infant formula product selected from a plurality of infant formula products,
• wherein conditions and/or a time at which the preparation has been completed is confirmed by the electronic scale to the computer and recorded in the computer and/or the electronic scale to define a historical feed tracking of the preparation,
• wherein the computer program comprises a consumption monitoring program carried out under the control of the electronic scale, wherein the consumption monitoring program is configured to:
• determine a remaining infant formula product amount to be consumed,
• record the remaining infant formula product amount, and
• transfer the remaining infant formula product amount to the computer,
• wherein the preparation information comprises the historical feed tracking of the infant formula,
• wherein the electronic scale is further arranged for weighing and controlling a water quantity and an infant formula quantity to match respectively a water set point and an infant formula set point during preparation.
