Lifemere Pty Ltd Details
Lifemere developed the worlds first intuitive system for optimising the natural intake of thin and thickened fluids. The system offers encouraging options for patients, carers and healthcare providers dealing with the distressing ethical dilemmas of poor nutrition and hydration that is so common in general frailty, dementia, dysphagia (swallowing difficulty), and palliative care situations.It offers adaptable and non-invasive natural alternatives to nasogastric and PEG tubes. It provides simple tools of assistance for distressed family members, friends and carers alike. The versatile system includes the options of 5 attachments and 2 valves that assist in the different stages of intake insufficiency. It also accomodate user preferred positions of intake i.e. reclined, upright or stooped. The spill resistant system offers spoon, sipper and soft spout options. The device elements achieves the desired flow rate and bolus volume while taking advantage of the complicated flow dynamics of thickened fluids to optimise safety.An industry in distress. The demographics of the aged care sector paints a depressing picture. The current incidence of dysphagia in residential aged care is an estimated 68% with aspiration (choking as a complication of dysphagia) the second largest contributor to unnatural deaths. Insufficient nutrition and hydration are likely major contributing factors to falls - the leading cause of premature deaths. The problem is escalating rapidly with the current life expectancy of 80-84 projected to rise to 90.4 by 2044.Competitors to the Lifemere system are mainly cups with nose carve-outs and cups limiting thin liquids to 5 or 10 ml boluses. However 90-100% of dysphagia patients are suspected to be still spoon fed...!Why not make a difference in the distress of starvation, malnutrition and dehydration?Because you can!
