Our Story

From November 2019 until March 2022, I was by my father’s side as he bravely battled dementia and spinal stenosis. It was the greatest honor and biggest challenge of my life to be his primary caregiver. I experienced both the emotional pain of watching his quality of life slip away and the physical demands of simply trying to rotate him in bed, get him to and from the bathroom, transfer him in and out of his wheelchair, and perform all of the other daily tasks his care required.  

As my Dad’s condition deteriorated, so did mine. Near the end of his journey, he became bedridden. Even with a hospital bed, alternating  pressure mattress, and myself and full-time CNAs working around the clock to care, clean, and comfort him, it was devastating when he developed bedsores.

Unfortunately, too many of us have this shared experience, and mine has changed the course of my life.

Prior to my father’s illness I was well known for creating and distributing a popular active toy and lifestyle brand for kids and teens. I spent two decades running the company, building global distribution and developing, sourcing, and manufacturing products. I am leveraging this experience to partner with the best robotics designers and factory to bring RoboBed to market so other families and institutions can derive significant benefits physically, emotionally, and yes, financially from this revolutionary technology. 

Give us a call to discuss the many ways RoboBed can help a loved one or your patients, professional caregivers, and your company’s bottom line by improving the quality of care and safety.
