What NoTube does

NoTube GmbH is an Austria-based, founder-led telemedicine clinic headquartered in Graz that specializes in treating pediatric feeding and eating disorders, with a flagship focus on weaning children dependent on nasogastric, PEG, and jejunal feeding tubes. Founded in 2009 by Peter Scheer, MD and led by CEO Aaron Scheer, the company operates a hybrid care model: Netcoaching delivers remote, protocol-driven tube weaning via a proprietary web-based Interaction Screen for feeding journals, video sessions, secure messaging, and questionnaires, while the Eating School provides an intensive two-week on-site residential program in Graz with telemedical pre- and aftercare. Adjacent programs (SelectMe for picky eating/ARFID, Learn to Eat for eating development difficulties, and an Anorexia Program) extend the clinical portfolio into related pediatric conditions.

The company monetizes through professional-services fees for clinical programs, an assessment fee billed after registration, and a B2B training stream via the NoTube Academy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; families register online, complete an assessment, and pay flat program fees, optionally in up to three installments, before enrollment. Distribution is direct-to-consumer and self-serve across German, English, and French-speaking families globally, supplemented by content marketing (free E-books, blog, social), physician referrals, and partnerships with external clinical centers such as Adeli Medical Centre in Slovakia. NoTube claims to have supported more than 3,000 children to date and reports a 94.6% success rate within four weeks, positioning itself as the first dedicated telemedical tube weaning provider worldwide. The entity is registered in Austria as NoTube GmbH / NoTube non-profit LLC (FN 410421 k), with no disclosed external institutional investment.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Feeding Matters: US-based nonprofit dedicated to pediatric feeding disorders, including tube dependency and ARFID. Highly comparable in mission and patient population, though it operates as an advocacy and family-support organization rather than a treatment provider.
• SOS Approach to Feeding: Training program and clinical protocol (developed by Dr. Kay Toomey) for feeding difficulties including ARFID and tube dependency. Comparable in addressing the same patient population and offering professional training to clinicians.
• Spectrum Pediatrics: US pediatric therapy provider offering in-home and telehealth feeding therapy, including tube weaning support. Comparable in clinical model (interdisciplinary feeding therapy) and pediatric focus, with stronger US payor relationships.
• Kids Are Great Pediatric Therapy: US-based pediatric OT-led practice offering feeding therapy, including support for picky eaters and tube-dependent children. Comparable in OT-driven feeding therapy model, though primarily in-person and US-only.

Emerging players

• Solid Starts: Digital-first baby and toddler feeding education platform that has expanded into broader pediatric feeding guidance. Partial overlap — addresses parents of young children with feeding challenges but does not focus on clinical tube weaning.

Broad incumbents

• Johns Hopkins Pediatric Feeding Disorders Program: Academic program offering evaluation and treatment for children with feeding and swallowing disorders. Comparable in target population, but operates under a hospital reimbursement model with established research output.
• Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Feeding Program: Academic pediatric feeding clinic with intensive tube-weaning and multidisciplinary services. Represents a credentialed incumbent that families and pediatricians may default to over a private telemedicine provider.
• Boston Children's Hospital Pediatric Feeding Program: Major academic medical center operating a multidisciplinary feeding disorders program including tube weaning. Competes on clinical authority and insurance coverage rather than telemedicine convenience.
