Abstract: Objective: To develop an intelligent precision feeding management platform and to evaluate its effects, so as to enhance the feeding outcomes of these children. Methods: The platform was designed and developed through a literature review and extensive consultations from clinical professionals and children parents. From March to April 2023, 66 primary caregivers of children with congenital heart disease were recruited from a tertiary grade A hospital in Beijing for a survey regarding their platform acceptance. From May to July 2023, 69 pairs of children with congenital heart disease and their primary caregivers were investigated about the Positive Aspects of Caregiving of caregivers and the Infant and Child Feeding Index of children before and after using the platform. Results: The platform included multiple modules such as total 24-hour intake calculation, cumulative intake and output records, growth development monitoring, medication database, infant feeding educational courses, and data statistics. The 66 primary caregivers had a relatively high overall acceptance of the platform with a score of 97.64±10.09. One month after the platform application, the score of primary caregivers' Positive Aspects of Caregiving increased significantly, and the Infant and Child Feeding Index of children was improved (P<0.05). Conclusion: Primary caregivers of children with congenital heart disease have a relatively high acceptance of the intelligent precision feeding management platform. The application of this platform can enhance their positive feelings, and increase the feeding qualification rate.
