We’re thrilled to introduce the next generation of Obi, Obi 3! This new generation is the result of two years of dedicated development, rigorous testing, validation, and multiple design iterations to bring meaningful improvements to life.
Our new utensils were designed to serve a wider range of user needs!
Read more below.
Available for Obi 3: small spoon, classic spoon, large spoon, and spork.
The magnetic utensil adapter was re-designed with improved utensil retention capability. This results in a utensil that meets the need of more users/patients, especially those with significant tone and/or oral-motor impairments.
Made from state-of-the-art, food-contact-grade resin for increased durability and longevity. The utensil tips (bowls) feature a mild texture to promote sensory feedback and grip.
Our red utensils are designed to support individuals with visual impairments by improving contrast, visibility, and ease of use. Red is known to enhance visual target detection, helping our visually impaired users more easily locate the spoon. These utensils can also be used by individuals without visual impairments.
New utensils are exclusively compatible with Obi 3 devices due to the changes to the adaptor.
Users who don’t need supervision can now power on Obi with a switch. Just plug in the power cable and press either switch for about 2 seconds—Obi will start up like usual. Perfect for those who don’t need full-time caregiver support!
Activate Reward Mode in Obi by pressing the teach button and holding either switch for 2 seconds. Obi will do a 30-second celebratory motion. This can encourage or reward favorable self-feeding behavior!
The time from Delivery Command to the the mouth position is up to 3 seconds faster! For many users/patients, this better aligns with their natural eating rhythm.
The allowable horizontal reach in Teach Mode has increased by ~2in/5cm.
In response to an in-bowl obstruction with large/hard food particles, the utensil now back-tracks along its path then awaits a command from the user to attempt a re-scoop.
Planes, trains, automobiles… school, restaurants, holidays, a friend’s house- wherever life takes you, take Obi with you!
Custom-designed Medical Equipment Bag made specifically for Obi, providing secure transport for the device and its accessories. TSA-approved carry-on size.
Medical Equipment Bag is sold separately and compatible with all generations of Obi.
With the momentary touch of a customizable switch, Obi allows users to select between four compartments of food and command when the food is captured and delivered to the mouth. Obi is controlled by any part of the body that can activate a switch. The simple and intuitive operation allows the users to be in control!
Customizable Control:
Obi is compatible with switches that utilize a 3.5mm headphone jack adaptor. Some of those switches include the following and many more!
