Judges’ Choice:
RAIVEN Healthcare
RAIVEN is developing a socially assistive robotic (SAR) platform designed for the elderly that can collect therapeutically-meaningful information to predict changes in health status before they occur, with an emphasis on Alzheimer's Disease. This platform can be used to develop artificial intelligence (AI) data analytics tools for monitoring and care to support clinicians and caregivers. Our solution is proposed to cost 25% of current SAR platforms while providing advanced AI analytics. Customers in the post-acute and long-term care settings will appreciate the technology as it will relieve stress and cost of caregiving while helping them to better monitor the mental health of their patients.

www.theLiftMeUp.com
The LiftMeUp recliner is a motorized device that instantly transforms ANY bed into an electric bed, offering comfort and assistance at the touch of a button but for a fraction of the cost of an electric bed. It allows its user to easily transition between a horizontal and a full sitting position, to sleep at an incline, to elevate the legs, and to recline comfortably. The LiftMeUp keeps the users in their own bed, next to their spouse, addressing the dignity issue that hospital beds deprive them from. It is easy to install - no tools required - and it is portable so ANY bed can be made adjustable, even a hotel bed!
The LiftMeUp has proven to be very helpful to patients recovering at home from surgery, to anyone needing to sleep at an incline, and to caregivers to avoid the risk of injuries. The LiftMeUp recliner is available for sale and for rent.
