Keriton is a comprehensive feeding management platform built for safer NICU feeding, from expression to administration.
A HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based feeding management platform that supports safe, efficient handling of breast milk, donor milk, and formula in the neonatal intensive care unit, PICU, and pediatric care settings.

The platform brings together three purpose-built applications, Keriton Nurse, Keriton Tech, and Keriton Connect, with multilayered barcode validation, real-time inventory visibility, and data-driven lactation support that helps families sustain milk production throughout their baby’s hospital stay.

Frequently asked questions
What is Keriton used for?
Keriton is a comprehensive feeding management platform used in the neonatal intensive care unit, PICU, and pediatric care settings to support the safe preparation, validation, and administration of breast milk, donor milk, and formula. It uses barcode scanning to verify the right feed reaches the right infant at the right time, automates recipe calculations and fortification, tracks inventory and expiration, and provides data-driven lactation support to help families sustain milk production during their baby’s hospital stay.
How does Keriton help reduce NICU feeding errors?
Keriton replaces manual two-nurse safety checks with multilayered barcode validation at every step of the feeding process. The system blocks expired or improperly handled feeds, prevents patient mismatches, and confirms accurate preparation and fortification before any feed reaches the bedside. To date, Keriton has prevented more than 120,000 feeding errors in real time across partner hospitals and validated more than four million feeds.
Which EMR systems does Keriton integrate with?
Keriton is a HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based SaaS platform that integrates with leading EMR and ADT systems, including Epic, Cerner, Meditech, Allscripts, and Athenahealth. Because Keriton runs in the cloud, hospitals do not need to host servers or maintain local IT infrastructure, and the platform is compatible with iOS, Android, and desktop devices.
How does Keriton support lactation consultants and families?
Keriton Connect, the parent-facing application, gives families a direct connection to their baby’s care team. Parents can log pumping sessions with their electric breast pump, track home and hospital milk inventory, send and receive secure messages, and view photos shared by nurses at the bedside. For lactation consultants, the platform provides real-time insight into pumping volumes and adherence, making it easier to identify at-risk families and prioritize intervention. Hospitals using Keriton have reported an average of 83 mL more milk expressed per day for every photo sent to a parent.
Does Natus Sensory provide training and support for Keriton?
Yes. Keriton’s proprietary deployment methodology includes a strong focus on change management and customized staff training for nurses, lactation consultants, milk room technicians, and clinical leaders. Natus Sensory provides US-based 24/7 technical support along with ongoing education to help units sustain adoption, expand use across shifts, and continue to advance feeding safety practices over time.
