About Us

Making the medical
world a little better
every day

Our next generation wearable infusion pump, the Ivy Duo +, frees patients from the infusion pole, which facilitates mobilization and autonomy. Our unique pumping system allows nurses to schedule and reduce their workload significantly. We expect to launch our product in collaboration with Radboudumc (Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen) in early 2024.

Mission

Providing a next generation medical device to improve the experience of infusion therapy for patients and nurses.

Vision

We want to make a significant impact on healthcare quality by reinventing infusion therapy.
