About the Company

Kalogon

Smart seating with advanced pressure management

Kalogon makes smart seating products to prevent pressure injuries from long periods of sitting, mainly for wheelchair users, and is expanding into aviation and automotive markets. Its Advanced Pressure Management (APM) system uses sensors, machine learning, and adjustable air cells to monitor and redistribute pressure in real time, integrated into the Orbiter and Orbiter Med cushions; users customize settings through a connected app. It differentiates itself with real-time pressure management, in-house manufacturing, and a history of clinical and aerospace collaborations, including a U.S. Air Force SBIR and partnerships with Hyundai and Collins Aerospace, plus licensing its technology. Its goal is to reduce health risks from prolonged sitting and broaden access to smart seating across wheelchair users and other industries.
