In April 2023, our lives were forever changed when our beloved daughter was born with a congenital heart defect. Our dreams and expectations of parenthood quickly transformed into struggles, tears, and constant fear for her life.
At just five weeks old, after significant weight loss, she began receiving nutrition solely through an NG tube. This was a completely new reality for us. While she finally started gaining weight, tube feeding brought its own set of challenges. Desperately seeking a way to make life a bit easier, we searched for an app to assist us but found nothing that met our needs.
At seven months old, our daughter underwent a successful heart surgery. Her recovery was swift, and her need for tube feeding lasted only a few more weeks. We were incredibly fortunate, but we know this isn't the case for everyone.
Once our lives settled into a new normal, I began developing a tube feeding companion app based on our experiences and the gaps we identified during our journey.
This app is more than just a tool; it's a labor of love inspired by our journey. It's designed to support other families facing similar challenges, offering a solution we desperately sought to make those difficult moments a bit easier.
Our daughter's strength and resilience inspire us every day. Through this app, we hope to ease the life of other families on similar journeys.

@emillinden Cheers to the team behind this! Wishing you all the best on this new adventure. What are you most excited about with this launch?
@kjosephabraham Thanks Joseph! Two things in particular. Most important of all, the ability to make the app available to people and families in need. Secondly, getting something out there after countless of project starts and not seeing them through. The incentive was a lot stronger this time around :)
What an amazing story and Idea. Happy that you got a featured spot!
As I am not familiar with this topic, I maybe can not test it like all the different AI tools on here, but from the story alone and the apparent positive Feedback in the Comments I am glad to see this succeed! All the best to the project and your family!

Hey @emillinden
Is Tubie an app that manages feeding schedules, reminders, and other tube feeding needs? Could this be a helpful tool for tube feeding patients?
@jpgohil93 yes, this is exactly the main cause of the app! Our needs were for our baby, but the app is designed to work for all ages, children and adults!
