About

The RAYMEX Lift helps prevent falls and assists with fall recovery

A portable, personal lift that also doubles as a better alternative to a rollator walker, the device has an elevating seat that can descend to floor level, raise to a height of 24”, and stop anywhere in between.

Designed to help people maintain their independence and active lifestyle as they age, the RAYMEX Lift aids with everyday activities while also always being ready to lift a fallen person from the floor.

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.
