NutriConnect

NutriConnect is a wearable storage and feeding solution designed to improve the lives of tube fed individuals. When individuals are unable to consume food orally, tube feeding is used to deliver nutrients directly to the stomach. Current tube feeding systems restrict users’ mobility, quality of life and independence. NutriConnect consists of a wearable band that fastens securely at the waist, providing easy access to the tube feed and pump. It empowers individuals to have increased mobility, giving them added comfort and control while they are feeding. This feeding system can be used by multiple user groups, from a mother feeding their baby to older age adults, and those with reduced mobility, ensuring safe and accurate feeding while preserving independence.
