About Able Innovations

Able Innovations is on a mission to advance the quality of care, efficiency, and safety in healthcare through user-centric, robotic innovation.

Able innovations develop products that will transform healthcare delivery. The needs of healthcare systems and staff are not being met here and around the world. Compounded by COVID-19, aging populations, and staff burnout, nurses are increasingly looking to leave the profession.

Transferring patients (moving patients between beds, stretches, and imaging tables) requires several nurses and risks injury every time. At Able Innovations, we are developing cutting-edge robotic devices to automate this process to offer safe, efficient, and dignified care.

We are looking for individuals who want to develop intelligent, robust, and particle systems that we can deliver globally to combat this public health crisis.
