IVY ROVER

Letting kids be more than patients

IVY Rover

IVY Rover is an innovative motorized IV pole designed with pediatric patients in mind. Equipped with advanced technology, IVY Rover autonomously follows kids as they move, ensuring freedom of movement without the burden of manually moving the IV pole. While traditional IV poles can be restrictive, this device revolutionizes the hospital experience by improving mobility and enhancing comfort. IVY Rover enables seamless navigation, allowing children to roam freely within the hospital environment in a safe manner while also receiving necessary medical treatment. Additionally, parents and nurses are also able to benefit from this hands-free device by being able to apply their focus directly to the child. With this solution, pediatric patients can engage in more activities, interact with others, and maintain a sense of independence, promoting both physical and emotional well-being.

Current Solutions

Current solutions such as the IV-walk vest and pneumatic poles are available to address the mobility challenges of patients requiring IV fluids or TPN. However, these solutions are not well-suited for pediatric patients. The IV-walk vest can be uncomfortable and restrictive for young children, while pneumatic poles are often too heavy and difficult for children to maneuver. These limitations prevent children from moving freely and safely, highlighting the need for a more effective solution specifically designed for pediatric patients.
