Industry Recognition
Approach
Timeline & updates
When co-founder Tracey was searching for a product to help her father recover from falls, she was unable to find an appropriate solution. Noticing a gap in the market, Tracey, Liam and the team began a process of research, discovery, design, and prototype development.
Partnered with commercial experts to build the RAYMEX™ Lift, launch date is set for the second half of 2024.
Initial idea
Fall 2019
When Tracey’s father, Ray, began falling regularly at home in 2019, she was unable to find an appropriate solution to help him maintain his independence at home. Tracey discovered this was not just a problem for her parents, this was a growing global health challenge that needed a new solution.
Partnership between Tracey and Liam
November 2019 – January 2020
Tracey and Liam, RAYMEX™ Lift co-founders, met through their shared undergraduate alma mater, Acadia University. Both had leadership roles in Acadia Athletics events and, knowing Liam’s background in Mechanical Engineering, Tracey asked Liam to join forces to create the RAYMEX™ Lift together.
Developing the product
May 2020 – August 2022
The RAYMEX™ team was working out of Dalhousie University’s Emera ideaHUB under the guidance of Dr. Clifton Johnston, the ideaHUB’s Academic Director. Once the design was finalized, the team developed three functional prototypes and engaged experts to provide valuable insight and feedback. The third prototype became the basis for the RAYMEX™ Lift.
Production
August 2022 – current
Our third prototype provided the basis for the RAYMEX™ Lift design, and we are partnered with a design manufacturer who helped us create our fourth prototype, our market-ready prototype and will build our production devices.
Product launch
Q3-Q4 2024
The RAYMEX™ Lift will be completed with regulatory establishment licenses, registrations, and device listings in Canada and the US respectively.
