General
What is SALMA, who is it designed for, and how does it help?
What is SALMA?
SALMA is a professional software platform designed to help organize, assess, and follow up lactation cases within a single, specialized clinical environment.
Who is SALMA designed for?
For lactation specialists (IBCLCs), private consults, clinics, multidisciplinary healthcare teams, hospitals, and maternal-infant health organizations.
What problem does SALMA solve?
SALMA keeps case information organized, connects maternal and infant dyad histories, monitors clinical evolution, guides practitioners step-by-step, and produces comprehensive reports with clarity.
Is SALMA just a program to store data?
No. SALMA structures clinical case data and facilitates clinical review, longitudinal tracking, and care documentation. It is designed to work like a dedicated lactation specialist co-pilot.
Does SALMA replace clinical judgment?
No. SALMA is a specialized clinical decision-support tool. All clinical decisions and final evaluations remain entirely with the responsible healthcare professional.
Can I use SALMA from anywhere?
SALMA is designed as a cloud-native platform accessible anywhere with authorized credentials and a compatible browser or device.
SALMA Features
Clinical history, assessment, scales, feeding observation, and reports.
What information can I document?
You can document complete case history, mother and baby clinical records, rigorous observations, clinical assessments, evolution, follow-up, and all associated care documents.
How does it organize the mother and baby history?
SALMA brings together all relevant case data so the clinician can review it in a structured dyadic view, maintaining context across consecutive consultations.
What is included in the clinical assessment?
Assessment is powered by structured forms, templates, clinical scales for ankyloglossia and feeding assessment, protocols, and checklists continuously updated to current evidence.
Can I record feeding observations?
Yes, structured feeding observation (latch, posture, pain, transfers) is built directly into SALMA's clinical workflow.
How does longitudinal tracking work?
Follow-up allows you to review case progress over time, compare metrics from previous consults, and continue building on established records without redundant data entry.
Can I generate clinical reports?
Yes. SALMA prepares comprehensive clinical reports from documented data that professionals can review, customize, and export to PDF before sharing.
Are clinical reports generated automatically?
SALMA organizes and drafts the clinical documentation, but the healthcare professional always reviews, completes, and validates the final content before signing.
Can I use templates and checklists?
Yes. SALMA includes pre-built structured checklists and templates to streamline documentation and review across all clinical scenarios.
Proly, SALMA's Clinical AI
Training with Prolactar España, capabilities, and clinical privacy.
What is Proly?
Proly is the specialized artificial intelligence integrated into SALMA to provide clinical assistance and co-pilot support during case management.
What is Proly trained on?
Proly has been trained by Prolactar España using specialized, evidence-based lactation knowledge updated to the latest international clinical literature.
What can Proly do?
It helps synthesize documented findings, organize ideas, review case progress, and draft clinical reports for the practitioner to review and adapt.
Does Proly provide automated diagnoses?
No. Proly does not replace professional clinical evaluation and must never be used as the sole basis for clinical decision-making.
Can I review and edit Proly's suggestions?
Yes. Every suggestion, summary, or generated draft must be reviewed and approved by the healthcare professional before entering medical records.
Does Proly learn from the patient data I enter?
No. Patient data is never stored outside the secure software boundary, nor is it used to train external or shared AI models. Every consult is processed independently.
Can I use Proly without opening a patient case?
Proly functions as a case-specific co-pilot and is only accessed within the context of an active patient case.
SALMA Academy
Clinical micro-classes, duration, and on-demand access.
What is SALMA Academy?
SALMA Academy is the continuous training hub built directly into SALMA, featuring concise, specialized video classes on frequent and complex lactation challenges.
What type of content is included?
It includes practical clinical micro-classes covering diagnostic criteria, physical assessment techniques, medication compatibility, and maternal-infant care.
Is it available from day one?
Yes. SALMA Academy is immediately available upon activating your plan.
Does SALMA Academy replace formal university training?
No. Its contents serve as continuous professional development and rapid clinical review, complementing but not replacing formal clinical qualifications or IBCLC credentials.
Can I access Academy with my main SALMA account?
Yes. Academy access is integrated directly into your existing user workspace, according to your subscribed plan.
