Complex Rehabilitation Technology

Beyond the wheelchair. Beyond every limit.

PathStrider is the world's first intelligent seated robotic independence platform — a single integrated medical device replacing the power wheelchair, the Hoyer lift, the transfer board, the pressure relief cushion, and hours of caregiver assistance every day.

The Problem We Solve

Daily life for full-time wheelchair users still depends on a fragmented stack of equipment and unpaid labor.

For users with SMA, ALS, spinal cord injury, MS, and other complex conditions, real independence is blocked by gaps the existing market has not addressed. PathStrider closes every one of them in a single device.

Stopped at the Edge

Standard power chairs fail at curbs, gravel, dirt trails, roots, and slopes — excluding users from outdoor life.

Hours of Caregiver Time

Transfers, repositioning, and ROM stretching consume 4–8 hours of paid or family caregiver time daily.

Pressure Injury Risk

Sustained sitting causes pressure sores that lead to hospitalization. Existing cushions are passive and reactive.

The Hoyer Lift

Mechanical patient lifts require a second person, take 10+ minutes per transfer, and strip dignity from a daily routine.

The PathStrider Platform

A single integrated medical device. Seven systems replaced.

Engineered for users who never stand. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor compute, governed by safety-first force limits designed specifically for fragile neuromuscular conditions.

Independent Transfers

Eliminating the Hoyer lift entirely.

A deployable carbon fiber transfer board, coordinated robotic arm stabilization, and AI surface analysis replace the patient lift, the transfer board, and the second person required for every transfer — restoring privacy and independence to the most vulnerable moment of the day.
