Programs and results
What we aim to solve
For individuals unable to regularly operate a hand-held push-button remote, daily life is inhibited and a caregiver must perform these functions. Through volunteer work with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, we met families living with neuromuscular disease. Recognizing both a lack of independence for the family member impacted by disease and the constant responsibility on the caregiver, we felt called to make a difference. In 2017 when we initially began our work, there was a huge unmet need from the adjustable bed manufacturers, so we developed a solution. We continue to make individual custom solutions to allow voice control of beds; while also serving as an advocate to industry to develop a (scalable) solution.
