My wife, Tracy, and I launched TPM Research in order to modernize patient transport, in both clinical and home settings. The team includes the majority of Officers and Directors from our previous company, Hygia Health Services, key familiar and active investors and several new, targeted hires.At Hygia, we identified a significant healthcare need: to save money and reduce waste in an increasingly disposable device market. Over 19 years, we grew that company to include >400 employees, serving >600 client accounts and began to establish an international presence. Similarly at TPM, we noticed a glaring gap in the healthcare patient transport model, developed a revolutionary new product to modernize a 90 year old technology, reassembled our experienced management team, raised a little money and are now introducing The Care Continuum Chair to benefit patients, staff, hospitals and health systems.TPM Research intends to transform the way healthcare providers transport and care for patients. Our new patient chair, The Care Continuum Chair, is ergonomically and clinically optimized, for both patients and the healthcare staff responsible for moving them.The new Care Continuum Chair from TPM Research offers many unique, patented, patient-centric benefits including:-A built-in, Powered Assist Lift (PAL) which raises the patient’s center of gravity until it’s centered over the legs, mimicking the biomechanics of standing from a seated position-A Flush to Floor Footrest during transfer which enhances patient safety and may reduce the risk of slips and falls; promoting patient dignity by eliminating the need to lift the patient’s legs onto a wheelchair footrest -Head, neck, and spinal curve comfort/stability engineering-Optimized Seating based on NASA’s research on neutral body position, optimal ergonomics and ideal Granjean seating angle-Weight Shift Technology adjusts body pressure which can minimize pressure points-A lower center of gravity that provides greater sense of stability, superior comfort, and improved posture-Standing geometry mimicking natural standing mechanics -Assistance with early mobility and fall avoidance-Potential to minimize risk of nurse, family and transport staff injuryAdditional features of the Care Continuum Chair:-Adjustable, raised leg support -Low resistance wheels-Telescoping IV pole-O2 tank support-Disinfectant holder-Wide profile, raisable armrests-Integrated baggage transport-Nestable for storageFollow this link for a quick virtual demo of The Care Continuum Chair:https://thecarecontinuumchair.com/demo/
