Enter Able Innovations, which has built a robotic medical device designed to address the problem of patient transfer, called the ALTA Platform.

Able Innovations’ mission to automate patient transfer has been manifesting for years. As Jayiesh Singh volunteered in long-term-care, he witnessed how unhappy patients and staff felt after patient transfer. Philip Chang then experienced the struggles of patient transfer first-hand when he was admitted into a healthcare facility for a prolonged period of time. Following the co-founders’ unique journeys, they arrived at the same conclusion; the status-quo of patient transfers is unsustainable.
