Our Story
As a child, our founder Nicholas Nastasi received intravenous therapy which was a traumatic experience for him. He thought he was being hooked up to an alien like device which gave a bad conception of his care. Nicholas decided to change the way this device had to look by creating Medical Grade IV Bag Stickers with friendly images.
Nicholas realized further opportunities to support patients and care teams which allowed the 4U Medical team to build software solutions that are patient facing to streamline processes and engagement. Patients and care teams are supported with our Patient Facing Software Solutions.
