Patient Comfort
Skin Irritation
Extended wear can make skin comfort an important consideration throughout long-term therapy.
The Challenge
The Long-Term Care Gap
Millions of patients requiring chronic subcutaneous therapy face a common challenge: current wearable infusion solutions can limit mobility and comfort during extended wear. As care increasingly shifts into homes and community settings, the need for adaptable, patient-centered solutions continues to grow.

The Reality of Current Care
Treatment is no longer confined to the clinical environment.
As long-term therapy increasingly extends into everyday life, wearable medical technology must account for the environments in which people actually live and receive care.
Long-Term Care
Home Health
Community Care
When care becomes part of daily life, comfort and adaptability matter differently.
Three Core Challenges
The challenges of long-term therapy extend beyond treatment itself.
Comfort, movement and practical care management can become increasingly important during extended therapy.
Everyday Mobility
Limited Flexibility
Existing device formats can interfere with movement and the routines of everyday life.
Care Management
Caregiver Burden
Ongoing device management can add complexity for caregivers supporting long-term treatment.
Founder Story
PRÉVION began with a problem experienced up close.
Founder Malcolm Greig-Steinmetz saw firsthand how traditional infusion pumps and tubing could create discomfort and practical limitations for his mother during treatment.
That experience became the foundation for exploring a different approach — wearable infusion technology designed with the realities of the person receiving care in mind.
Founding Principle
Design around the person receiving care, not only around the technology delivering it.
Why the Problem Matters
A significant portion of wearable therapy discontinuations relate to comfort-related complaints.
In long-term therapy, the experience of wearing the technology can directly influence whether treatment feels sustainable in everyday life.
