Aditazz, Develop partner to market Patient Mobility Platform

Aditazz announced a strategic partnership with inventor Roger Leib to jointly develop and market the Patient Mobility Platform, a suite of mobility products conceived and designed by Leib, founder of Develop, LLC. Aspiring to revolutionize healthcare delivery and enhance patient outcomes, the platform will enable patients to recover faster than currently possible in hospital settings due to introduction of mobility and assisted rehabilitation at an earlier stage of treatment.

 "As a healthcare design and construction firm integrating new design, technology and manufacturing methodologies, Aditazz shares Leib's commitment to changing the current sedentary patient care model to one based on active patient mobility to improve outcomes," said Dan Pittard, CEO of Aditazz.

The current system relies on the patient recovering in a bed-centric environment dependent and supported by expensive equipment. Prolonged hospitalization periods frequently breed an unintended consequence of illnesses and injuries covering the gamut from infection and muscle atrophy to depression and an inability to carry out basic functions towards recovery. The detrimental effects ultimately contribute to the mounting healthcare expenses feared by healthcare providers, insurance companies and individuals.

The patient mobility platform is comprised of two component systems: A mobile support system and a power assisted chair. Primarily, the patient gains greater comfort, efficiency, and dignity since the system facilitates greater movement between bed, chair, and toilet. The chair enables an upright position for extended periods of time giving confidence to the patient to actively engage in his surroundings and reducing caregiver burden in providing assistance. With the integration of the mobility platform and care environment, the patient has increased flexibility to pursue recovery options that enable active participation to rapidly regain control of his environment.

The partnership with Develop, LLC demonstrates Aditazz's continued commitment to improving healthcare facilities and outcomes. The close collaboration with Leib and Develop, LLC. contributed to Aditazz emerging as a co-winner of Kaiser Permanente's 2012 'Small Hospital, Big Idea' design competition. "Together, we aim at nothing less than revolutionizing our present sedentary care model," Leib said.
