Obi

Stand: 6002

Obi is a revolutionary adaptive eating device for individuals with upper extremity strength and mobility limitations. Through the use of customizable accessibility switches, Obi allows the user to control what they eat and when!

When Obi’s Co-Founder and CEO, Jon Dekar, was a teenager, his grandfather, a Navy Veteran, was diagnosed with a degenerative neuromuscular disease. Over the next few years, he slowly lost the use of his arms. During this time, Jon witnessed his grandfather’s frustration in being fed by others. As the disease progressed, Jon observed how much his grandfather disliked being fed by a caregiver.

What was once an enjoyable experience was now physically and emotionally stressful. He was no longer able to select the food he wanted or control the pace at which he ate.

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!
