RAYMEX Lift

09/10/2026

We're excited to share that we're heading to Niagara‑on‑the‑Lake next week for ORCA CON 2026, hosted by the Ontario Retirement Communities Association (ORCA) - the signature annual gathering of 350+ retirement community leaders from across Ontario.

On Wednesday, September 16, I’ll be presenting alongside Pontosense and Paige Frame, sharing how the RAYMEX Lift® is transforming fall recovery and independence in retirement communities. It’s an honour to be recognized among such innovative companies shaping the future of senior living.

Helping residents thrive - not just live!

Supporting staff so they can focus on what matters most!

Looking forward to connecting with operators, clinical leaders, and innovation‑focused partners at White Oaks Resort as we continue building momentum in Ontario’s retirement sector.

See you at ORCA CON 2026!

On June 18, Orchard View Gardens in Almonte, ON graciously hosted a donor event and training session for residents and caregivers who were receiving their first RAYMEX Lift®! We were honoured to be welcomed by their incredible team and community.

We are deeply grateful to Mr. Robert J. Brown, one of our wonderful investors, for his generous donation of the RAYMEX® Lift in memory of his late wife, Mrs. Sarah E. Brown. Their gift is already making a meaningful difference — improving dignity, reducing stress, and supporting safer fall recovery for residents and staff.

Thank you to everyone at OVG for the warm welcome and thoughtful engagement. We look forward to returning on October 8 for another in‑service session!

What a fantastic day supporting the Amherst Jr. 'A' Ramblers Golf Tournament on July 25! ⛳

Axtion Independence Mobility was proud to sponsor a hole and the “Closest to the Pin” competition on the Par 3 - and our foursome had an absolute blast out on the course...and we got to show off our RAYMEX Lift! 😊

It was extra special for us because hockey runs deep in our team: Liam Maaskant led our foursome, Darien Reynolds hosted our hole, and Meaghan Hannigan would have been there too… except she was away playing in a hockey tournament of her own (very on brand for her!). 🏒

We love supporting our Town of Amherst, NS community, and we’re grateful to the Ramblers organization for hosting such a great event. Already looking forward to next year!

We are thrilled to share that Meaghan Hannigan (“Meg”) has officially joined Axtion Independence Mobility Inc. full-time as our Product Engineer, with an additional governance role as CSAB Product & Clinical Integration Lead.

Meg brings a rare blend of engineering expertise and clinical research experience. She completed her B.Eng. in Biomechanical Engineering at Queen's University, followed by a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Research at Dalhousie University, where she focused on mobility, physical function, and musculoskeletal health. She then spent a year in clinical research with the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Nova Scotia Health, supporting post‑operative recovery and real‑world mobility outcomes.

Meg has already made a meaningful impact on the evolution of our award-winning RAYMEX Lift – from engineering analysis and testing to continuous improvement, regulatory documentation, and structured problem‑solving. Her ability to bridge engineering, clinical evidence, and user needs is exceptional.

In her governance role, Meg will support our soon-to-be-announced Clinical & Scientific Advisory Board (CSAB), helping maintain our product roadmap, prepare evidence summaries, coordinate advisory cycles, and translate clinical guidance into engineering action. She is also developing expertise in regulatory and quality systems as we prepare for continued submissions in Canada, the U.S., and internationally.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have Meg on the team. Welcome officially, Meg – we’re so glad you’re here!

We’re so excited to share this! The Maritime Made crew from Eastlink TV and Firefly Digital Media visited our manufacturing location at Precise Design’s plant earlier this year to film the story behind the RAYMEX® Lift – designed in Nova Scotia and built right here in Canada by an incredible team in Town of Amherst, NS (cc: Cumberland Business Connector)

A huge thank you to Invest Nova Scotia for supporting this project and believing in local innovation. Their backing helped make this possible.

The episode aired on Eastlink TV in March, and it’s now available on YouTube. We couldn’t be prouder of the entire team including Jackie (Nana Jacqueline Leis), Jaimie Smith, and Nate Tynes from our partners at Precise Design who bring the RAYMEX Lift to life every day.

We also want to thank Tony Stewart and Martha Morse for starring in our demo video!
