The UPMO is an autonomous mobility device designed for hospital and rehabilitation settings. When summoned, the UPMO comes directly to the patient, who securely connects their harness to the device to safely and independently perform Activities of Daily Living. Throughout use, healthcare staff can monitor the patient’s status and location in real time—supporting patient dignity and independence while maintaining safety and clinical awareness.
Who does the UPMO help?
Our products
Patients
Patients often lose dignity and independence when they require assistance for basic activities of daily living, such as toileting. The UPMO (Upward Mobility) enables them to perform these tasks safely and independently, while healthcare workers remain informed of the patient’s status and location at all times—ensuring both autonomy and oversight.
Health Care Workers
Healthcare workers are frequently injured on the job, often due to being overworked and stretched too thin. The Upward Mobility helps ease that burden—allowing staff to focus on higher-value care while enhancing patient safety.
Hospitals
When patients or healthcare workers are injured, hospitals not only face serious human costs but also financial ones. These incidents often lead to increased workers' compensation claims and lost productivity, placing a significant financial burden on the facility.
