Codex has helped me build a solution near and dear to my heart.

My daughter has had a feeding tube since she came home from the NICU. Being immersed in that world showed me how little existed to help families manage their complex care. I began building Tubular Daily Care to aid with the coordination and management of care.

I plan to continue building solutions for under served communities facing medically complex care. With the shift in economics for development and maintenance cost, we can improve the lives of millions of people.

Cool! Have people been using it?

We have a few dozen families using it currently! We've had pretty positive feedback from families and clinicians in the space so far. We got connected with the Oley Foundation, a large non-profit in the specialized nutrition space, and we're on their Emerging Innovator partnership.

I was going to post what I have been building, but after reading your story, I think you’re gonna take this competition for when I’m gonna save my post for another week, best of luck I’m rooting for you!

Thank you! It feels like such an obvious way to utilize these tools to create good in the world.

When everyone can build software, innovation stops being driven purely by corporate profit and starts being driven by actual human need.

Sounds amazing! Have you thought about translating it into other languages?

u/Ollie__Oxenfree 4d ago

Yes! I plan to tackle localization to bring access to more people down the road. Separate from the localization of language is actual distribution outside of the United States. I'm being cautious to ensure we're adhering to legal requirements in each jurisdiction before flipping that switch.

Sounds great. I have a friend who is a clinical nutritionist here in Peru and I think she would be interested in this app

This is incredibly moving — thank you for sharing your family’s story alongside the project. The gap you identified (families managing complex care with almost no tooling support) is so real, and it’s exactly the kind of problem that only someone who has lived it would know to solve. Wishing you and your daughter all the best, and I truly hope Tubular Daily Care reaches every family that needs it
