Obi transforms the lives of our pediatric users in numerous ways. Many of our pediatric users rename Obi (like Will who calls his Wall-E) and they use the device at school and home.
Without the shadow of a caregiver, our pediatric users are able to enjoy the important social aspect of eating with friends and family with confidence and autonomy to choose what they eat and when.
From elementary to university, we have many users who eat with Obi at school!

“Lunchtime is such an important time of day for students. It gives them an opportunity to socialize with peers, take a break from academics, and fuel their bodies.”
“I really, really see how much it changes things for him in the conversations he’s able to have and the interactions with his peers he’s able to have when there isn’t an adult shadowing him.”
