If you made it through Thanksgiving without a cooking mishap, congratulations! But the holiday season isn’t over yet, and the kitchen still poses significant risks. Thanksgiving may top the charts as the leading day for home cooking fires, but Christmas Day and Christmas Eve follow closely at #2 and #3, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The holiday season is about celebration and creating cherished memories, but it’s also the most dangerous time of year in the kitchen. Distractions from family, friends, and festivities — combined with the use of multiple cooking appliances — create a perfect storm for potential hazards. The Alarming Reality of Kitchen Fires Nearly half of all house fires in the U.S. are caused...

As a college student bound for med school less than 10 years ago, if someone had told me that my impact in the world would stem from a passion for innovative kitchen technology, I’d surely think they were mistaken. Honestly, I never thought I’d know this much about kitchen anything. And on many days, I do have to keep pinching myself to make sure I’m not dreaming (or having a nightmare, depending on how you view the entrepreneur life). As you likely know by now, at Ome, we’re redefining kitchen safety with our Smart Knob, a proprietary retrofit device that quickly transforms any gas or electric stove into a smart appliance by simply replacing the existing knobs.

Consumer tech publication T3 published a feature about Ome and its new Smart Knob designed to address the most critical and unsolved safety concern in the kitchen — unattended cooking.

In this episode of the Raising Tech Podcast, Transforming Technology Culture in Senior Living, powered by Parasol Alliance, Matt Reiners, Chief Growth Officer, chats with Akshita Iyer, Founder and CEO of Ome, about her inspiring journey to create a smart knob that can turn any stove into a safer, smart appliance.

Techstination, a publication and radio covering all things gadgets and gear, featured Ome’s new Smart Knob, highlighting its key benefits, differentiators, and upgraded features from Ome’s first generation Smart Knob.

Originally launched under the name Inirv, Ome’s journey began with a simple idea born from a personal experience — retrofitting stoves to prevent kitchen fires and help those aging in place. From a 3D-printed prototype in 2016 to delivering their first product through Kickstarter, Akshita shares the highs and challenges of bringing a hardware product to life, including turning down a Shark Tank deal and navigating complex safety standards.

In this Senior Living News piece, we are thrilled to introduce our next-generation Smart Knob to the senior living industry to further serve the aging population, their families and caregivers. Ome’s Smart Knob is designed to address the most critical, unsolved safety concern in the home: unattended cooking — the No. 1 cause of house fires and a danger that disproportionately affects older adults due to mobility or memory challenges.

Ome’s founder and CEO Akshita Iyer talked to Michael Wolf of The Spoon to share her journey with Ome — from developing the first 3D-printed prototype as a side hustle, to launching a Kickstarter and appearing on SharkTank, to now bringing the Gen 2 Smart Knob to market.
