More Independence at Mealtime.
Obi 3 is a robotic self-feeding device that helps people with limited upper-extremity function enjoy meals with greater choice and independence.
Eat what you want. When you want.
An individualized trial helps evaluate whether Obi 3 is suitable for a person's needs and safe eating abilities.
Independence that starts at the table.
Obi 3 is designed for individuals with upper-extremity impairment who can safely operate an accessibility switch and chew and swallow without assistance.
Choice at every meal
Select food from four compartments instead of relying on someone else to choose each bite.
User-controlled dining
A customizable accessibility switch lets the diner command when food is captured and brought to the mouth.
More independence
Support greater control and dignity in daily mealtime routines.
Easy to use. Designed around the individual.
Obi 3 pairs customizable controls with consistent food delivery. The diner selects food and directs the feeding process with the touch of an accessible switch.
