StairAssist Walker, Inc.

StairAssist Walker, Inc. manufactures a patented 2-in-1 mobility device designed to enable users with mobility challenges to navigate stairs safely with caregiver assistance. The device converts between standard walker and stair-climbing modes using a proprietary Knee Conversion Mechanism (KCM), addressing a critical gap in accessibility for individuals recovering from leg fractures, amputees, stroke patients, and aging adults. Key features include height-adjustable handlebars for postural accommodation, a Stair Mode Safety Lock to prevent unintended movement, and a collapsible design with fold-and-go functionality for portability. The StairAssist Walker targets discharge support for hospitals, short-term injury recovery, and long-term mobility aid applications. Currently operating as an investigational device under U.S. federal law, the company addresses a significant unmet need: 20 million aging adults live sedentary lives due to stair difficulty, and 47% of U.S. homes require stair climbing to enter.
