Praxis commercialization program alum, Kalogon has developed a pressure-relieving cushion that helps wheelchair users avoid pressure injuries and pain. Machine learning helps ‘orbit’ support around the cushion in order to redistribute bodyweight through a patent-pending air cell technology and thus avoid prolonged pressure on tissues. This tech recently received attention from Veterans’ Affairs in the United States, where the cushion is being evaluated by people with lived experience (PLEX) of spinal cord injury (SCI). There’s also been a successful seed funding round, emphasizing the value of this innovation, and Kalogon has also attracted federal support from the US Air Force.
