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
When patients need help with basic activities of daily living -they often lose a sense of dignity and independence. The UPMO (Upward Mobility) is designed to help restore both by enabling appropriate patients to complete these tasks safely on their own, while keeping healthcare staff continuously informed of the patient’s status and location—preserving autonomy without sacrificing oversight. Not all patients will be candidates for UPMO use, and a qualified healthcare professional would determine suitability based on individual clinical needs.
Healthcare Workers
Healthcare workers face a high risk of injury—often a consequence of heavy workloads and chronic understaffing. UPMO (Upward Mobility) is designed to help relieve that strain by supporting safe patient independence and enabling staff to focus their time and expertise on higher-value clinical care.
Hospitals
When patients or healthcare workers are injured, hospitals bear not only the human toll but the financial consequences as well. Such incidents frequently result in higher workers’ compensation claims, legal exposure, and lost productivity—creating substantial operational and economic strain on the facility.
