Press Release
Redondo Beach, CA – Thimble™ (www.thimblehealth.com) is pioneering the needle care market with innovative solutions and products designed to create better health outcomes and improve experiences with needle procedures. With a focus on compassion and a commitment to alleviating pain and stress, Thimble™ is on a mission to change the way healthcare feels.
Founder and CEO of Thimble™, Dr. Manju Dawkins, was familiar with needle pain as a physician, but when she brought her daughter in for her vaccinations, it took on a whole new meaning for her. As a doctor and a parent, she was struck by how widespread needle fear was and how few options there were to address it. These options often required a prescription or knowledge of proper application techniques.
According to Dr. Dawkins, "Today, 66% of kids and 25% of adults experience needle phobia. Unsurprisingly, people fear and thus avoid needles - because of the pain. But the problem is that they end up sicker because they can’t get the vaccines, blood draws, and medications they need to stay healthy. At Thimble™, our purpose is rooted in compassion. We want to provide patients with a more positive and comfortable experience by creating safe, effective, and accessible solutions so they feel empowered to take care of their health."
Thimble™ is dedicated to transforming the standard of care for needle procedures by addressing both the physical and emotional pain that needles can cause. Launching late July, is a first of its kind, convenient patch that provides relief after needles. The Recover™ patch is doctor & mom developed with tumeric and arnica to reduce soreness, bruising, and swelling at the injection site, without the potential side effects that oral pain medications can cause. It will be available without a prescription on www.thimblehealth.com.
Thimble™ is already inspiring confidence among healthcare professionals and patients alike winning the grand prize at the American Academy of Pain Medicine x MIT Hacking Medicine Innovation Challenge as well as the VaxUp Innovation Challenge sponsored by the Los Angeles Department of Health and Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles.
