As we head into 2026, one thing is clear: progress isn’t coming from louder tech or bigger promises. It’s coming from coordination, restraint, and a renewed focus on solving real problems for real people. Here are my 2026 predictions for shifts I believe will define the year ahead. Healthcare Complex systems finally coordinate.  The biggest healthtech breakthroughs in 2026 won't come from individual innovations, but from systems learning to work together. AI in healthcare only delivers value if data systems actually integrate across providers, devices and platforms. Patient monitoring tools only work if clinicians, patients and algorithms are truly connected, not just collecting data in parallel silos. In 2026, we'll see the emergence of companies focused purely on being that connective layer–the infrastructure that makes interoperability possible. Software platforms connecting manufacturers, supply chain partners and component suppliers will provide essential coordination infrastructure for complete product ecosystems. This trend extends to business models, too, with direct relationships and transparent pricing replacing convoluted insurance networks and hidden fee structures. Progress happens when all stakeholders are finally at the same table, and someone builds the bridges between them. Niche wellness issues get overdue attention.  We're five years past COVID, and healthcare is finally paying attention to conditions that were previously dismissed or overlooked. The common thread in 2026: recognizing that "niche" often just means underserved, and there's both massive need and market opportunity in addressing conditions that standard healthcare has ignored. Menopause and perimenopause are getting serious investment and product innovation. Prosthetics and limb health are seeing breakthroughs. "Taboo" health issues, such as pelvic floor, sexual wellness and digestive health, are being normalized with real solutions and tracking tools. Seated health will be another major development, especially as we understand the long-term effects of prolonged sitting during lockdowns and WFH. Accessible development tools mean conditions previously considered too specialized for commercial investment can now support viable businesses serving those specific communities. Consumer companies rebrand AgeTech.  Sharper Image is selling durable medical equipment. Martha Stewart has a rollator on Amazon. Gen X and Millennials are the first digital natives aging into mobility needs while also caring for their Boomer family members, who rarely want to identify as having a disability or needing accommodations. Seniors expect their assistive devices to look and function like the consumer tech they already use. The cold medical aesthetic won't work for this generation. Watch for more mainstream lifestyle brands launching aging and mobility lines in 2026. Consumers revert back to “dumber” technology.  There's a growing rejection of overly complex technology, especially among Gen Z. People are buying landlines that just make phone calls. They're avoiding "smart" refrigerators because they don't want ads playing on every surface in their kitchens. The overwhelming number of feature-bloated tech products and constant screen time are driving consumers back to basics. Health care devices in 2026 will follow this trend. The most successful products will do one or two things automatically and well, with simple user control. The tech will be advanced, but the UX will appear more analog. People want equipment that works seamlessly in the background, not apps and screens that demand constant attention and management.  The Great Medicaid Reckoning is coming.  People who rely on Medicaid face significant changes in 2026. Each state will decide independently how to handle funding constraints—shouldering additional burden, scaling back coverage or restructuring programs entirely. Medical debt will surge, likely spawning new financing companies to manage payment plans. The aging population accelerates this pressure. We may reach a political tipping point where reform becomes necessary and politically viable. For healthcare companies, this means more will diversify across reimbursement codes, payer sources and international markets. Risk management means building resilience across multiple revenue streams. Concierge medicine expands beyond luxury.  Given the volatility of health insurance accessibility and pricing in 2026, more providers and patients will opt out of traditional insurance networks entirely, making concierge medicine a mainstream alternative rather than a luxury service. Physicians seeking autonomy from insurance company restrictions will offer direct-pay arrangements. Hybrid models will emerge—basic access fees plus transparent fee-for-service—giving doctors and patients clarity and control. This shift creates new opportunities for healthcare delivery models built on direct relationships rather than third-party intermediation. Startups Sustainable, agile startups emerge from the economic ashes. Market volatility in 2026—from policy changes, tariffs, or economic uncertainty—creates opportunities for nimble startups who have built sustainable businesses amid the VC winter and rising interest rates. Large companies take too long to navigate reorganizations and strategic pivots, while small hardware companies solving real problems can move quickly. Capital-efficient operations and vigilant customer focus enable rapid progress while larger competitors manage internal complexity. Fewer resources means fewer constraints and faster decision-making. Innovation happens at the edges during turbulent times. Small-scale manufacturing becomes economically viable.  Companies will ask a defining question in 2026: "Can we build this in-house, or do we need a partner we can truly trust?" Vertical integration for core differentiators and careful partner selection for everything else will define the manufacturing strategy for startups. AI-powered tools will make distributed, small-batch manufacturing profitable, with automation reducing labor requirements for work at modest volumes. Software platforms will connect smaller shops to leverage combined capabilities, with coordinated networks for component sourcing and specialized processes. We will see manufacturing decentralized into niche facilities operating efficiently because AI eliminates overhead that previously required massive scale. Agility and local production become competitive advantages, as "Made in the USA" from base components through final assembly becomes feasible for startups. Hardware startups attract fresh investment.  Hardware companies that survived the funding downturn through capital discipline will find themselves in a prime growth position. Investors with dry powder and AI deal fatigue will actively seek alternative opportunities to “AI-proof” their portfolios. Hardware startups incorporating AI as a capability rather than leading with it as their primary identity will find receptive audiences. Real problem-solving with tangible products continues to succeed through market cycles. Ultra-niche startups become viable. Accessible development tools, easy APIs and affordable IoT platforms enable profitable businesses serving tiny markets. Fortune 500 companies and individual developers can now use the same infrastructure. In 2026, this democratization means ultra-specialized solutions for conditions, use cases and communities that previously lacked sufficient scale will be viable. When building and data collection costs approach zero, you can profitably serve highly specific needs. Capital efficiency meets long-tail opportunity, creating space for solutions that capitalism previously overlooked. AI finds its real market in B2B.  The AI landscape will split decisively in 2026. Business-to-business AI tools solving specific operational problems with clear ROI will thrive. Healthcare workflows, university research tools and business operations will integrate AI as essential infrastructure. These companies build defensible moats through deep domain expertise and measurable productivity gains. Businesses pay for results, and AI that delivers them will command sustainable pricing. The key differentiator will be embedding AI as a feature that enhances core value rather than positioning AI itself as the product. Across all of this, one theme keeps repeating: durable progress comes from coordination, focus, and human-centered design. That’s where we’re placing our bets. Here’s to building what actually lasts in 2026. — Tim Balz, CEO of Kalogon

Smart seating company expands team as sales surge and production capacity scales Kalogon Team, August 2025 Melbourne, Fla. (Dec. 16, 2025) - Kalogon ,   the market leader in smart seating solutions, today announced it has moved into a dedicated manufacturing facility in Melbourne with production capacity to support up to $50 million in annual business – a major milestone for the company that has built its reputation on U.S.-based innovation and rapid product iteration.  The expansion reflects significant growth, with overall revenue more than doubling and medical revenue nearly tripling year-over-year. After reaching maximum production capacity at Groundswell Startups' campus, Kalogon needed a larger dedicated facility to fulfill accelerating customer demand. Kalogon's vertically integrated approach – designing, prototyping and manufacturing in-house – enables the company to implement improvements based on customer and clinical feedback in days rather than months.  "When your engineering team and production line are under the same roof, speed becomes your competitive advantage," said Tim Balz, CEO and founder of Kalogon. "We hear feedback from a customer in the morning, prototype a solution by afternoon and have it in testing by the end of the week. That cycle would take months with overseas manufacturing. This facility gives us the capacity to scale that speed, introducing new products, expanding customizations and getting innovations to users at a pace that simply isn't possible when you're dependent on external supply chains." The expansion isn’t just square footage. The company has grown to 35 employees – including recent additions of a specialized industrial sewing technician, multiple engineers and R&D – and is actively hiring across engineering, product and sales to support accelerating demand and innovation.  This agility has proven critical in serving a wide range of use cases, from wheelchair users with diverse needs to passenger comfort on airplanes to high-performance pilots in the U.S. Air Force. Just this year, the company has expanded its medical product line and launched the Bondar  back support in multiple sizes, completing a fully Medicare-coded seating solution that combines postural support with Kalogon's proprietary Advanced Pressure Management System (APMS). "Kalogon represents exactly the kind of sustainable business we want to see thriving in Florida," said Ken Hall, partner at DeepWork Capital , an early investor in Kalogon. “They’ve built a model where rapid iteration and human-centered design create better products faster, and the market is clearly responding. This combination of innovation and commercial traction is exactly what attracts serious investment.” As urgency for seated health heightens, Kalogon's momentum looks prescient. Kalogon's technology – seating systems that use patented air cell technology, sensors and AI to relieve pressure – addresses growing awareness of seating-related health issues across multiple markets, from wheelchair users managing pressure injury risk to professionals in transportation and aviation seeking enhanced comfort and performance.  The company's smart seating technology has been clinically validated to improve blood flow compared to static cushions and has earned numerous recognitions, including the SXSW Patient Safety Technology Innovation Award and TIME’s Best Inventions. Kalogon serves customers through partnerships with major mobility equipment distributors, including National Seating & Mobility, Numotion and Reliable Medical, as well as direct sales and federal grants. https://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/news/2025/12/16/melbourne-startup-kalogon-new-space-coast-facility.html

One of the core ideas behind Bondar is that customization shouldn’t end at the order form. Bodies change. Needs shift. Real-life use highlights things you can’t always predict in an evaluation room. The Field Kit was created to support exactly that reality. It gives clinicians a practical way to continue shaping Bondar after delivery – not by starting over, but by making thoughtful, precise adjustments right on the back support. A Tool for Continuous Fit The Field Kit includes a small set of foam components in shapes that address common, real-world needs: enhancing sacral support, improving lateral contact, adding contour where a user collapses, or refining a bi-angle so you can personalize Bondar. Each piece attaches using hook-and-loop, and everything is intentionally oversized so you can trim it to the exact shape you want. This gives clinicians the flexibility to respond to how the user sits day to day, week to week, or year to year. How It Works Pieces attach directly to the Bondar’s Veltex surface They can be added, moved, layered, or trimmed as needed No tools required beyond scissors Placement differs depending on whether the Bondar is built with XLPE or Polyurethane foam, but in both cases the kit integrates seamlessly Most adjustments take only a few minutes, and they can make meaningful improvements without interrupting the user’s routine or waiting on a remake. Built to Evolve With the User Seating is never static. Whether someone experiences growth, shifting posture, or simply finds new pressure points over time, the Field Kit supports that ongoing evolution. It’s there for the small change, the ones that matter in daily use but don’t require a full redesign. For clinicians, it means having a reliable way to refine Bondar without extra appointments, delays, or guesswork. For users, it means their backrest is something that can keep up with them, not hold them in one fixed shape. Add an Extra Layer of Personalization Alongside the Field Kit, we’re also offering free embroidery on Bondar’s breathable covers. It’s a simple option for adding a name or identifier – useful for clinics, helpful for long-term care environments, and appreciated by users who want something that feels personal. As always, Kalogon believes your seating system should reflect your needs, your identity, and your life – not the other way around.

Over One-third of Americans Sit More Than 8 Hours Per Day, Finds New Research from Kalogon Kalogon Showcases Smart Seating Solutions at CES 2024 to Improve Comfort and Reduce Pain LAS VEGAS (Jan. 9, 2024) - At CES 2024, Kalogon ,   a leader in smart seating solutions, today released new research that found more than one-third (38%) of Americans are sitting for more than eight hours per day, and most respondents feel discomfort after sitting just 30 minutes to four hours. In its 2024 Seating and Sitting Survey  of over 1,000 U.S. adults, Kalogon studied the duration an d physical effects of sitting to understand how it impacts overall wellness. Seating & Sitting Chart Previous research by the CDC  in 2018 found that 25% of the population spent more than eight hours a day sitting, signaling that adults are now sitting longer than just a few years ago – and they’re uncomfortable. In addition to showing signs of discomfort starting at just 30 minutes, 13% of respondents had experienced a pressure injury  from sitting. Pressure injuries and their complications claim the lives of 60,000 Americans annually, establishing them as a top cause of preventable deaths in the United States.  The survey also found: 23% of people have taken medication to increase seated comfort; 41% have taken extra breaks to move to increase comfort More than half (58%) of people at least somewhat agree that they have a goal to sit much less frequently Nearly three-fourths (74%) of people at least somewhat agree that they are highly aware of the health risks of prolonged sitting Health tech is ‘behind’ “There are myriad reasons why people sit for extended times – due to their jobs, disabilities and more,” said Tim Balz, CEO and founder of Kalogon. “While it’s noble to encourage more movement, we can’t ignore the very valid reasons why people need to sit and must strive to improve seated wellness for those who do. Seating hasn’t been disrupted in 50 years, but we can massively improve our seated health by applying the best in health tech available to our butts.” Kalogon’s smart seating solutions are ushering in a new era for those who spend an extended time sitting. At Kalogon’s booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), North Hall, #8939, CES attendees will have the opportunity to experience the future of seating. Orbiter by Kalogon combines machine learning and patent-pending air cell technology to redistribute weight and increase comfort by maintaining blood flow. A connected app enables users, caregivers and clinicians to personalize their experience based on each user's needs.

Published in the Journal of Tissue Viability, Orbiter by Kalogon’s offload sequence was found to improve blood circulation compared to static modes Melbourne, Fla. (Feb. 15, 2024) - Kalogon ,   a leader in smart seating solutions, today released the findings of a study  investigating how its Orbiter smart cushion  affects blood flow. The research, conducted in collaboration with EC-Service Labs and published in the Journal of Tissue Viability  on February 11, 2024, reveals promising results for improving blood flow perfusion. The study focused on the air-bladder offloading mode of Kalogon's Orbiter cushion and its impact on reactive hyperemia in the gluteal region of non-disabled individuals. Reactive hyperemia is a physiological mechanism that regulates the local blood flow after a temporary obstruction of blood vessels. The degree of reactive hyperemia depends on the degree of occlusion, a higher level indicates a higher degree of occlusion. By utilizing a high-resolution image system to measure blood flow during different seating experiences, researchers analyzed the effects of using Orbiter's offload sequence compared to static modes. The results indicate that when using Orbiter's offload sequence mode, there was less reactive hyperemia compared to static modes without offloading benefits. In other words, Kalogon's air bladder system within the cushion significantly improves blood flow and circulation in the gluteal tissue among non-disabled participants. "The outcomes of this study reinforce the early feedback and experiences of our customers – Orbiter improves comfort and aids in offloading that is difficult to do manually," said Tim Balz, CEO and co-founder of Kalogon. "We strive to transform how people sit comfortably for extended periods, and this research marks an important step towards achieving that goal and gaining scientific validation for our innovations." While these initial findings highlight significant progress toward understanding blood flow improvement mechanisms associated with Orbiter, further research is needed to understand the full effects of the cushion. Kalogon has developed a continuing education course  for occupational and physical therapists including insights from this research, addressing how to identify those that will benefit from posture/positioning interventions and how to provide comprehensive assessments and dynamic treatment plans for those with posture and positioning needs.  “Using high-resolution imaging to study the impact of the Kalogon wheelchair cushion on blood flow in the gluteal area,” Sandra Arias-Guzman, Craig Oberg, Kasey Call, Marianne Russon, Evan Call, Journal of Tissue Viability, online February 11, 2024, doi: 10.1016/j.jtv.2024.02.003 For more information, visit https://www.kalogon.com/ .  About Kalogon Kalogon revolutionizes how the world sits through technological innovation, cutting-edge research and an obsession with user experience.
