Rethinking how people move: Elevate’s startup story

Getting a medical device startup off the ground requires new thinking and smart tools. For Elevate, the Siemens Startup Program was the perfect solution for their design and manufacturing software needs. Elevate was able to scale their design and collaboration processes as the team grew all while solving complex problems.

Human-centered design

Elevate creates products that help individuals with foot drop or drop foot. This condition is where individuals have difficulty lifting the front part of the foot towards their shin. This lifting happens naturally when you walk, but for those with foot drop, their foot might drag on the ground and could cause them to fall. Elevate has developed a line of products that address drop foot.

“Our goal is simple – we’re here to create beautifully crafted products that empower people to get up and move every day,” Kelly McGee, Co-Founder, VP of Engineering + Design.
