Guldmann Inc. supported the lab by providing Guldmann Patient Lift Systems for Safe Patient Handling that will play a key role in the lab’s operations.

At the Smart Health Innovation Lab, startups participate in a 12-week certification program where they work with technology and clinical experts to validate their products and integrate their technologies into clinical workflows. 

Startups utilize various simulated care environments at the lab’s state-of-the-art facilities, including a pharmacy, hospital room, physical therapy gym, clinician’s office, and home environment, to demonstrate how their technologies impact cost, the patient and provider experience, and health outcomes.

The Smart Health Innovation Lab used a collaborative approach to equip the entire facility. Everything from the simulated care environments to the conference rooms have been outfitted by industry-leading companies and vendors that have sponsored the lab, including Guldmann Inc.

Guldmann Patient Lift Systems will provide instruction on the safe moving and handling of patients.
