Medernity is a healthcare innovation company focused on improving feeding care for newborns, particularly preterm and medically vulnerable infants. The company addresses feeding immaturity, a common challenge in neonatal care that can leave infants needing clinical support to meet their nutritional needs. Medernity develops infant-led feeding technologies intended to support neonatal development, progress toward oral feeding, and family-centered care. Its work is aimed at creating practical, scalable solutions that can be used across diverse healthcare settings.

The team was founded by physicians and brings together experience in clinical medicine, public health, policy, law, and healthcare innovation. This multidisciplinary perspective informs the company’s approach to developing tools for infants and the people who care for them. Medernity’s leadership includes CEO, co-founder, and co-inventor Dr. Kyle Knuppel, and Chief Operating Officer Alicia Carbaugh. The company’s stated focus is on helping preterm and medically vulnerable infants advance their feeding development while supporting care that includes families.
