The money will go toward distribution of Luminoah Flow, which received FDA clearance in April 2026, more manufacturing capacity, and continued development of Luminoah Intelligence, a data platform for clinicians. Flow combines a pocket-sized rechargeable feeding pump, nutrition pouches and a mobile app. Patients can feed while moving through their day, and clinicians can review delivered nutrition through the platform when patients choose to share their data. An early access program has already run with patients at institutions in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast.
Founder and CEO Neal Piper started the company after his son, Noah, depended on tube feeding during cancer treatment. The company points to traditional pumps that often require carrying equipment on poles, handwritten feeding logs kept by caregivers, and limited clinician visibility into what patients actually receive. Piper said Luminoah was built so the technology could “fit around their lives instead.”
For the broader MedTech space, the round adds funding for a part of home care where device design has changed little.
