Smart Lift Vest Information

CEO and GM of Smart Lift, Jim Kiper, has spent over 25 years in the healthcare industry working closely with first responders, EMS, home health providers, families and nurses. Recognizing the need for a portable and safe lift and transfer device, the Smart Lift Vest was born. During his time with Lifeline, Jim realized that more the 95% of the calls they received were about falls. Often times first responders, whether they be family members or medical personnel, are unable to lift a person and EMS has to be dispatched. Jim realized that first responders, EMS, and caretakers were putting themselves at risk, utilizing less than ideal lift techniques and equipment. With the help of Wade, a physical therapy assistant, and his brother Elliot, the group refined the Smart Lift Vest and designed a new prototype. With Wade's perspective and Jim's experience, the current Smart Lift model was created. Using proper mechanics, the lifter is able to use the Smart Lift Vest's unique features to lift and transfer patients, safely. The vest not only reduces the risk of injury to the care provider but also reduces the risk of further injuring the patient. The Smart Lift Vest helps immobile patients and loved ones life a happier, fuller, and more independent life. This product offers loved ones, caretakers and medical personnel a simple, safe, and straightforward way to lift and transfer patients and family members.
