Zusammenfassung:	METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSFERRING PRESSURE DURING EXPRESSION OF HUMAN BREAST MILK A device for expression of milk from a breast is provided. The devices comprises an actuatable assembly; a breast interface sized to engage a breast and fluidly seal thereagainst, the breast interface having an expandable membrane disposed within at least a portion thereof; an electronic controller configured for actuating the actuatable assembly, wherein the actuatable assembly is operatively coupled to the breast interface such that, when the actuatable assembly is actuated, the expandable membrane moves to apply vacuum pressure at the breast to express milk therefrom; and a data transmission unit configured to transmit data to a mobile device, the mobile device including an application to collect and aggregate milk expression data and display the milk expression data in an interactive format.
