Simple Device Helps Seniors Stand Independently

A simple contraption to help the sick, frail and elderly get out of bed is set to take off on the lucrative American mobility aid market.

Allan Perriam worked as a nurse for 10 years in Australia where expensive hoists were used to lift patients off of beds.

“I just saw that as undermining the rehabilitation process and undermining the independence of the patient so I thought ‘there’s got to be a better way’,” he said.

Perriam set up his own company, Innovo Health Care, and moved to South Australia in 2014 to manufacture his simple device, the U-stand Frame.
