Why KibbyMedical ?
KibbyMedical was born from both clinical experience and personal loss.
After caring for a medically fragile cardiac infant for eight months in the ICU, our CEO, Stephanie Torres, witnessed how continuous, expert medical supervision can stabilize even the most vulnerable patients.
With round-the-clock monitoring, clear protocols, and rapid clinical response, the infant thrived in the hospital environment.
​
When he was eventually discharged home, that same level of oversight was no longer available. Despite the best intentions of caregivers, subtle signs of deterioration went unnoticed. Three months later, the infant died from complications that may have been preventable with earlier detection and stronger support at home.
That loss exposed a hard truth:
​
The transition from ICU to home remains one of the most dangerous periods for medically fragile infants.
For families, it is marked by fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty. For clinicians, it is when visibility into a child’s condition abruptly ends. For infants, it can mean the difference between timely intervention and irreversible decline.
As an engineer with a background in technology and AI systems, I began asking a simple but difficult question:
Why does hospital-grade awareness disappear the moment a child goes home?
What began as conversations between a pediatric cardiac nurse and an engineer became a focused, multi-month effort to rethink how continuity of care could exist beyond hospital walls. For over a year, we have been working on KibbyMedical™, researching clinical needs, developing non-contact Intelligent Care Companion concepts, and designing a system intended to support, not replace, medical judgment.
KibbyMedical™ is not a consumer gadget. It is the result of sustained collaboration between clinical insight and technical design, grounded in real-world pediatric cardiac care.
Our mission is simple, but urgent: to ensure vulnerable infants are never left without intelligent support during the most fragile moments of their lives.
KibbyMedical™ exists to extend awareness, continuity, and compassion beyond the ICU—and into the home.
