Products Home Orbiter Aviation Booster Technology More Kalogon’s Technology, Designed to Improve Your Seated Health Our Core Technology: Pressure Relief in Action Intelligent Pressure Control: Using intelligent redistribution technology, Kalogon’s technology eliminates direct pressure on sensitive areas to not only accelerate the healing process of pressure injuries, but also prevents new injuries from occurring. Our technology also looks at blood flow, overall body temperature, weight shifts, and ambient conditions. ​ Our tools monitor pressure changes within air cells, and adapt to user-defined preferences in real-time to maximize comfort and stability. Manage comfort preferences using iOS, Android app, or even on the device, depending on the product. Continuous Pressure Relief: Automate and control pressure redistribution using Kalogon app presets. Update your seating profile to define areas that require additional pressure relief or added firmness. Optimize blood flow across sensitive areas and enhance your existing offload routine. An Innovative Team Kalogon’s founding team , made up of former SpaceX engineers, came together with local wheelchair users to develop our first product, Orbiter and continues to innovate. It took three years to develop Orbiter, and during this time the Kalogon team partnered with local wheelchair users, spinal cord injury clinics, and nursing homes to understand the needs around seating. Kalogon also participated in the prestigious Praxis Spinal Cord Institute Incubate program. Our technology is patent-pending and uses a combination of air-cell and artificial intelligence to create optimal pressure control. Our research team explores different dynamics of sitting - understanding everything from blood flow to comfort, and these research papers and our ongoing development work continually improve our products. ​​As we make changes and learn, we share firmware and software updates.

Study & Whitepaper Home Kalogon University Webinars White Papers Research More LEARN MORE ABOUT KALOGON'S TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION Chronic Wound Case Study A case study done by Kalogon on Wound Care Management shows how the Kalogon Orbiter Smart Cushion helped a 53-year-old female living with spina bifida heal a chronic state 4 sacral pressure ulcer. The female known as Ms. Z presented with a longstanding 2-year-old chronic slowly healing stage 4 sacral pressure ulcer. She has been a full time powerchair user since June 2020. During a wheelchair transfer In March 2020, her mother noticed a quarter sized wound from a previous pressure injury had cracked open and was draining. ​ In the year before using the Kalogon Orbiter Smart Cushion, the wound progressed to a stage 4, requiring antibiotic therapy and 3 surgical debridement procedures. She reported her wound to be 15 x 8 cm and 6cm deep-sacrum exposed. She reported her pain to be an 8 out of 10. Ms. Z switched from her Roho Cushion to a Kalogon Cushion halfway through her 2-year recovery (June 2021). ​ ​ While the replacement of her Roho Cushion with the Kalogon cushion may not have been the single factor in the healing of this wound, Ms. Z reported that from the very first day, she was able to sit comfortably in her power chair for up to 4 hours without any issues. Her wound began to heal and remain stable over the course of the next year. As of May 24, 2022, the stage 4 sacral pressure ulcer previously present was deemed to be healed.

LEARN MORE ABOUT KALOGON'S TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION White Paper At Risk Population Kalogon's white paper on the Orbiter Smart Cushion highlights the importance of pressure injury prevention and treatment for wheelchair users. ​ Pressure injuries are one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States, with their complications resulting in nearly 60,000 deaths annually. These injuries develop due to unmitigated pressure applied to the skin and deep tissue when seated for long periods of time, making wheelchair users particularly vulnerable. ​ Practicing consistent and proper pressure offloading is critical for preventing PI development; however many wheelchair users do not perform the offloads or have pre-existing conditions that make performing offloads extremely difficult. What results is unmitigated pressure and eventually a pressure injury. Our Solution The Kalogon Orbiter Smart Cushion uses a combination of machine learning and patent- pending air cell technology to automatically adjust pressures applied on a wheelchair user's buttocks and thighs. The cushion is designed to detect pressure points in real-time to redistribute pressure, and aims to increase comfort and maintain blood flow through this adjusting process. Users and caregivers can use a companion app to personalize their experience to support pressure injury healing and pain relief. Download Now
