Founder, IndeeLift
Steve Powell is the founder of IndeeLift and an accomplished thought leader in the fall recovery space. Steve founded IndeeLift after his parents began to experience routine falls and become stuck on the floor, often left with no option but to call 911 to help them up. Steve learned that many seniors across the US are dealing with the same issue - and built IndeeLift to help these folks get up after a fall with independence, comfort, and dignity.
In the nine years since founding IndeeLift, Steve has established himself as the go-to expert in fall recovery. I'd love to connect you with him to talk through the emotional and physical impact of fall recovery, as well as the massive amounts of time and money that local EMS departments spend picking up seniors after they've fallen.
The data makes this issue clear: a US senior falls every second, and while most of these falls don't result in injuries, they often leave a senior stuck on the floor, waiting for the fire department to arrive. This is a huge problem for two reasons:
1. Being stuck on the floor can lead to serious health complications, and even death
2. Local EMS departments are forced to spend huge amounts of time and money helping seniors get up - taking valuable time and money away from more urgent, and less preventable calls.
I'd love to link you with Steve to talk through the issue of fall recovery for seniors, EMS, and the wider community, and how tech like IndeeLift can drive better results for all. His device is being used across the globe to help people age at home for longer, and with more comfort & security - so I think he would be an excellent fit for the show!
