Animated FedEx driver watching a distressed child crying during an injection at a pediatric clinic — depicting the origin story of MedBuddy, invented by Chase Corwin after witnessing children's needle fear on his hospital delivery route

The Story behind MedBuddy®

MedBuddy® was invented by Chase Corwin, who as a child had a fear of needles. Chase was a FedEx driver who delivered to hospitals and medical offices on his daily route. He consistently listened to and watched children cry in terror at the sight of a syringe while delivering to these locations.
He watched parents, nurses, and doctors wish there was something they could do.

Chase continued to develop the concept. He built prototypes and ran focus groups with children, parents and medical professionals. After a small team was founded, he obtained a patent. Together, they developed MedBuddy into a clinically validated solution providing child comfort in healthcare on a global scale.

We are not a large corporation. We are not a government agency. We are a small team with a genuine solution to a real problem — and we know that reaching the children who need it most requires partners who have already built the trust, the infrastructure, and the relationships we don’t yet have.
