Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What will I be doing doing?
We’ll provide additional training at onboarding, but it’s quite simple:
Apply the smart lactation pad on one breast
Apply commercial breast pump to the second breast
Collect pumped milk sample and saturated lactation pad
Q: Do I need to provide my own materials?
No! We will provide you everything that you need, including lactation pads and a breast pump.
Q: What kind of data are you keeping on me?
Nothing, seriously!
Your data will never be sold, shared, or otherwise distributed outside of this research study.
The onboarding and follow-up information is safeguarded by a select few individuals, held accountable by the University of Southern California’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) under reference IRB #HS-25-00093.
Q: Wait, will the sensor be in direct skin contact?
No! Our smart lactation pad is fully biocompatible and the sensor is not in contact with the skin.
Q: How will I be compensated?
After completion, you can either choose a $25 gift card and a new breast pump OR provide your own pump and receive a $75 gift card.
Q: Do I have to come in person? Where can I park?
Yes! The study is completed in person. Metered street parking is compensated.
