PHILADELPHIA—Zeen, by Exokinetics, announced the Zeen, a multi-purpose mobility device, was awarded the contract award by Department of Veterans Affairs—Federal Supply Schedule, number 36F79725D0170. This contract ensures the government best of pricing and services making the Zeen available for veterans in the VA Medical program and other government employees.
“This is a huge step for us to contract with the government and I am very proud of my team’s dedication and accomplishments to deliver the most innovative mobility device to so many deserving service members, active duty and veterans”, said Rick Sherak, CEO of Exokinetics. “Until now there has been a void in mobility device products available to those who have been wounded, disabled, or suffering from chronic illness. The Zeen provides the technology for active minded person to stand confidently, walk safely and significantly reduce the risk of falling.”
Exokinetics said Zeen offers technology that restores one’s mobility independence, confidence, dignity and quality of life.
Designed and developed by a team led by Garrett Brown, Zeen offers a solution for veterans who want more mobility independence than a traditional walker or wheelchair can offer. Ideal for people that desire to maintain or regain mobility in their legs, the Zeen device safely transitions a person from a sitting position to standing, and then promotes walking, and even coasting, all without the fear of falling.
"Unlike many conventional mobility aids, Zeen uniquely allows users to use their bodies to move freely and confidently under their own power, not relying on motors or batteries," Zeen officials said. "Whether at home or on the go, the Zeen easily folds compactly to fit in any car and can be gate-checked for air travel."
