I enjoyed speaking with Ty Hagler, MBA, on the medDesign by Trig podcast. We explored innovation, design, and the future of healthcare technology, including Luminoah's mission to advance chronic disease care through enteral nutrition technology.

Did You Know? 20% of Cancer Patients Die from Malnutrition In our latest medDesign by Trig podcast episode, Neal Piper, founder of Luminoah, shares a heartbreaking and eye-opening reality: malnutrition claims the lives of 20% of cancer patients—not the disease itself. Neal highlights the outdated and fragmented technology currently used in tube feeding. From handwritten feeding logs to sugary formulas with no nutritional value for specific disease states, Neal’s personal experience as a parent led him to question and ultimately disrupt the status quo. With a background in global healthcare and years at Pfizer, Neal combined his expertise with his family’s journey to create Luminoah—a company dedicated to transforming pediatric nutrition and tube feeding technology. This conversation is more than just innovation; it’s about patient advocacy, resilience, and the mission to give patients and families a brighter future. Watch the full episode to hear Neal's powerful story and his vision for improving lives through smarter, more personalized healthcare solutions.

1moCool topic! If I'm following correctly, would your nutrient system work well with the Oura & Dexcom partnership that was announced yesterday? Really like the ability to remain mobile and meter nutrients. Good luck!
