The inventor of Gloup experienced that people were struggling daily with the intake of medication as a home care nurse. He decided that there should be a better, safer and easier way for this. This is when he came up with the idea of the worlds first medication swallowing gel.The initial development was done in cooperation with a Parisian University. After that, he found his business partners in the Netherlands, and that leads to the develpment of Rushwood B.V.
