NASHVILLE, Tennessee—National Seating & Mobility (NSM), a provider of complex rehabilitation technology (CRT), medical supplies and mobility and accessibility solutions in North America, is now a preferred national partner for LUCI, a Nashville-based company that creates technology aimed at increasing independence for power wheelchair riders.
“LUCI offers power wheelchair riders greater independence, confidence and safety in a world that’s not always designed for people who rely on mobility equipment,” said Crispin Teufel, CEO of NSM. “We’re proud to be LUCI’s preferred national partner in the complex rehabilitation technology (CRT) industry and excited to expand access to this life-changing technology through our more than 180 locations.”
As LUCI’s preferred national partner, NSM said it will play a key role in introducing LUCI’s technology to a broader range of clinics and power wheelchair riders across the United States and Canada through expanded internal and external clinical education, technical trainings and awareness campaigns.
"LUCI has been leading since day one, delivering dozens of industry-first features,” said Jered Dean, chief technology officer and co-founder of LUCI. “For years, Riders have been asking for collision avoidance and drop‑off protection to help prevent driving off curbs or steep edges. LUCI also adds 360-degree LuciView for added visibility of the environment for the rider and provides connectivity to their care team, through Alexa, Apple Health, Google Health and Google Assistant.”
“At LUCI, our mission has always been to rethink what’s possible for people who rely on power mobility,” said Barry Dean, CEO and co-founder of LUCI. “Expanding our partnership with NSM helps us bring safer, smarter mobility to more people. Their nationwide expertise and deep commitment to the people they serve means more wheelchair users will have access to the safety, confidence and independence they deserve.”
