Tubus Technology is now an international company based in Copenhagen that enforces self-empowerment and independence by developing products that are designed to make a difference for people with physical limitations in upper limbs. We work with the entire process from idea generation to product development and market validation. This allows us to adapt the supply chain to our values and improve it as we go.

About Us
TubusOne is classified as a class 1 medical device and holds a CE-mark. It is a mechanical communication device for people with physical limitations in upper limbs and works by sipping and puffing into a tube. The Tube contains a piston function that works like a finger on touchscreen devices when it is activated by a puff from the mouth.
The story behind TubusOne
The story about Tubus Technology began in 2013, where eight students from Aalborg in Denmark met Christian for the first time. Christian was 36 years old back then, and just like everyone else, besides the fact that he was paralyzed from the neck down. After his paralyzation, all he ever wanted, was to be able to communicate with his girlfriend, friends, and family, without the need for assistance from anyone else. He wanted to be independent.
The day after meeting Christian, the team behind TubusOne had developed the very first prototype edition of a TubusOne. The prototype was shown to Christian for his feedback, and to see whether the product could meet his unmet need and let him live more independently in all aspects of life, where being able to communicate without any involvement of a helper was needed.
The product met Christian needs and after two years, 10 prototypes, and several hours in the thinking cap, the finished TubusOne product was ready to be released to the market. TubusOne was no longer 'just' a university project, TubusOne had grown into an innovative communication device, accessible for people around the world to attain.
What makes TubusOne stand out is the mechanism in the product that makes the piston act as a finger touching a touchscreen. Gaining the opportunity to navigate quickly, without any complications and on your terms is a way of regaining your independence and freedom. The users who have purchased TubusOne throughout time have helped us lead the way through the development of the product, and TubusOne would not have been what it is today without good craftsmanship and extraordinary customers.
Today the TubusOne communication device enables more than 300 people around the world to regain their independence.
Our Mission
We at Tubus Technology enforce self-empowerment and independence by developing products that are designed to make a difference for people with physical limitations.
We want to create a world in which everyone has equal opportunities
We challenge the old to make way for the new
We want to challenge the old paradigms and raise the bar for how we develop innovation for people with physical limitations. We want to break down the barriers while providing our customers with the best possible products that can improve their quality of life, in an easy to buy and accessible way. By challenging an industry that has been reliant on old-fashioned ways of working with stakeholders, we are making way for the new.
We create equality for our customers
We want to break the barriers for people with disabilities. Everyone should be treated equally, and have the same opportunities. There is a common prejudice that physical disabilities equal cognitive disabilities, which is not true. We want to lead the way and show that we are all equal and therefore should have equal opportunities.
Easy to buy, easy to use
We offer the end-users the opportunity to find and purchase innovative products in a few simple steps. The products should make a noticeable difference in their lives instantly from receiving the box. Easy to unwrap, easy to understand, no boundaries due to culture or language differences, and accessibility. We see a future, where our products are sold and consumed like all other commercial products. For the benefit of our end-users and customers.
Knowledge and innovation
We bring innovative products, ideas, and bold perspectives to the industry, and provide people the opportunity to become first movers. We contribute with knowledge, motivational subjects, and stories from people around the world. We offer knowledge about different lifestyles by making user cases and portraits of people who live life in a different way. We use the ”wisdom of the crowd” for idea development because it has shown potential for product development.
