Effective Food Capture
Obi’s patented features, including multi-directional food capture, portion control, spoon wiping and food re-positioning allow for optimal and efficient food delivery.
Customized Delivery
Obi’s setup process is fast and user-friendly. Through the Teach Mode, Obi allows the caregiver to quickly position the device for optimal use, and tailor the food delivery location for each diner.
Switch Operation
After the delivery location is set, the diner controls their experience through the use of two accessibility switches – one to select the food, and one to command food delivery. The switch ports are 3.5 mm barrel jack (headphone jack) connectors, which makes Obi compatible with a variety of switches on the market – even Sip-and-Puff attachments!
Eating out with Obi
Obi is perfect for eating out! Obi is portable, weighs approximately 3Kg and comes equipped with a rechargeable lithium ion battery that provides up to 3 hours of eating time per full charge.

I enjoy my mealtimes. I like the normality OBI gives me
“With a chance to try OBI out – I was curious. I found it easy to use. It actually quite impressed me with how it allowed me to eat our normal food & recipes, without me relying on others during the meal. The only change was that while serving up Caryn cuts up all my food for me, placing it in the 4 OBI bowls. All I needed to do was touch the button and I was eating.
OBI gives me a chance to eat for myself. Whether it’s as a couple, with family & friends over or using it at restaurants I enjoy my mealtimes. I like the normality it gives me. It has become part and parcel of our life and family. OBI packs up easily for trips with us to family and on holiday.”
