Healthy Beginnings,
Made Simple
Annually, liquid medication dosing mistakes injure over 140,000 children in the US, about 7,000 of which are fatal
The Challenge
Current systems require caregivers to navigate infant rejection & acceptance and convert across weight-based measurements
The absence of an intuitive, error-reducing dosing method can lead to poor adherence, emotional fatigue, and preventable harm
When it comes to delivering medicine to infants, too much of the burden falls on caregivers – with harmful consequences.
Introducing
The Nutrifier
A first-of-its-kind pacifier-based medication delivery system designed to simplify and standardize liquid dosing for infants – especially those requiring frequent or long-term treatment.
Built for the realities of chronic care, the Nutrifier integrates medication delivery into existing routines –bringing peace of mind and precision to parents & caregivers who need both.
Effortless Precision
Increased accuracy leveraging an infant’s natural sucking motion to deliver medication and vitamins with limited rejection
Routine Ready
Seamless integration into a caregiver’s day given low-burden administration & ability to proactively organize
Confident Comfort
Comfortable pacifier design increases infant acceptance and reduces impact of squeamishness on delivery
