Operations, Research & Development, and Product Teams

Kalogon is an early stage startup based in Melbourne, FL that has won multiple awards for our smart seating solution for wheelchair users, and is rapidly developing solutions for anyone who sits for long periods of time.

Kalogon’s flagship product is a smart cushion, Orbiter Med, that relieves pain and fatigue experienced by individuals who use wheelchairs. Orbiter Med leverages our patent-pending core technologies to improve blood flow while seated, promoting good tissue health, lessening fatigue, and increasing comfort.

For our first customers, wheelchair users, we are focused on alleviating pressure injuries. Our technology has strong capabilities that apply to other industries where people are seated for long periods of time including the defense industry, aviation, automotive, and even consumer applications such as gaming.

Kalogon has three products for wheelchair users, Orbiter Med, Orbiter Classic, and Booster. We also work with the Air Force and with multiple companies in the commercial aviation and automotive spaces.
