RAYMEX Lift

Axtion Independence Mobility is honoured to be named Small Business of the Year by the Cumberland Chamber of Commerce.

As a Nova Scotia‑founded company, it means so much to be recognized right here at home by the community that builds the RAYMEX Lift® with their own hands and ships it across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and soon Europe and beyond.

Thank you to the Chamber, to Nova Scotia Works CANSA (the award sponsor), and to our incredible team and partners, for believing in what’s possible when a rural company takes on a global mission.

On October 9, Tracey McGillivray, our CEO, had the privilege of spending the day at Algonquin Nursing Home in beautiful Mattawa, ON, right along the Ottawa River. The town carries a spirit all its own and their team welcomed her with genuine warmth, curiosity, and professionalism.

We spent the afternoon in a hands on in service training session focused on resident mobility and safe fall recovery, joined by their remarkable CEO, Tanya Belanger who is a Nurse Practitioner and deeply respected clinical leader. Tanya’s leadership is the kind that lifts everyone around her: grounded, capable, deeply connected to her hometown, and fiercely committed to resident dignity and staff safety. Those values show up in the entire team.

The session included staff and leaders from across the organization. Relationships and teams like this remind me why we do this work. It was wonderful to stand alongside their team as we explored hands on techniques with the RAYMEX® Lift and discussed how it supports resident mobility and safe fall recovery.

We’re thrilled to continue this meaningful partnership!

Orchard View Gardens is leading the way in resident‑centred innovation.

We were honoured to provide a full RAYMEX® Lift in‑service with their team - and even more honoured by how they chose to approach it.

Instead of limiting training to staff, Orchard View invited residents themselves to participate. They asked thoughtful questions, explored the Lift hands‑on, and helped shape the implementation process. It was empowering, respectful, and a model we hope more homes will adopt.

This is what leadership in long‑term care looks like:
• listening to residents
• involving them in decisions
• building confidence and comfort from day one
• and creating an environment where innovation is shared, not imposed

Thank you to the Orchard View Gardens team for your hospitality, your openness, and your commitment to resident dignity. We’re proud to support your work - and grateful for the trust you’ve placed in the RAYMEX® Lift.

Rural strength. Resident voice. Real impact.

📺 RAYMEX Lift is on the news!

Yesterday, seniors and caregivers across Canada explored the future of independent living at the AGE-WELL Discovery Day, and the RAYMEX Lift stole the spotlight!

We hit the screens on CTV News Montreal where our Director of Account Management, Ben Alexander, walked viewers through how our 4-in-1 device acts as a walker, prevents falls, and safely lifts a user straight off the floor.

The excitement didn’t stop there—we also made the CTV News Atlantic/PEI broadcast, with Harding Medical highlighting how our East Coast-manufactured tech is helping older adults stay independent without placing a heavy burden on their families.

We are so proud of Ben, our partners at Harding Medical, and the entire team for representing our mission on the national stage! 🇨🇦✨

MAJOR MILESTONE: Thrilled to share a major milestone! 🎉

📜 On September 22, 2026, the US Patent Office officially granted our patent for the RAYMEX® Lift – our walker apparatus with an integrated lifting platform. Engineered as the world’s only multi functional rollator capable of independent motorized vertical lifting from the floor — supporting everyday activities, increasing independence, and helping reduce physical strain on caregivers.

This innovation was led by primary inventor Liam Maaskant, our Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer, with co inventors Suling Duong, John A. Glowacki Jr., and Tracey McGillivray. I’m incredibly proud of this team and grateful for the engineering, clinical insight, and perseverance that brought this invention to life.

We also want to thank Pierre Nguyen, Mitchell Leibovitch, and the Norton Rose Fulbright team for their exceptional patent guidance through this journey, and to every clinician, partner, and older adult who provided feedback to help ensure we delivered on our promise.

US Patent No. 12,740,912 B2 — granted.

Here’s to a world with fewer falls and more freedom!

Fear of falling shouldn't dictate how you live your life. For many older adults, traditional walkers offer support while moving forward but fail entirely during the everyday tasks that define personal autonomy – like cooking, bending to tend to a pet, emptying the dishwasher, putting on your shoes, or safely standing up.

This , the theme is "From Awareness to Action." Traditional aids don’t protect the transitions where 2/3 of falls actually happen.

Look beyond standard mobility. The RAYMEX Lift features a unique elevating seat that adapts to your movements, delivering a powerful two-sided solution: safer caregiving for your loved ones and greater independence for you.

This , invest in a higher standard of independent living.
