About us

Making the medical
world a little better
every day
Video-aboutus
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.

Helga de Bie

Senior nurse

"With its pre-programmed schedules, I can leave the administration of intravenous medication to the Ivy with confidence. And because of its ingenious ability to dissolve air bubbles in the system itself, alarms such as with current pumps are a thing of the past. What also makes me very happy is that my patients have more freedom of movement due to the portability of the pump, which allows them to maintain and improve their condition."
