VEMO SYSTEM^® (VEM = Very Early Mobilization) stands for a robotic assistance system for the mobilization of critically ill patients, especially intensive care patients. The unique feature: The system combines verticalization and movement.

The VEMO SYSTEM^® consists of a Robot and a Trolley, the verticalizable intensive care bed with a mattress and the patient adapters for stabilising the patient during verticalization and mobilization.

Studies conducted on manual early mobilization (EM) show that especially in ventilated patients, targeted EM significantly improves the recovery process and can reduce ICU length of stay (LoS) by ~23%.

Mobilization with the VEMO SYSTEM^® is especially recommended for severely ill patients with the LoS expected to be long and the transfer out of bed to be costly but also risky for patient and user due to tubes, infusion lines and catheters.

A list of absolute and relative contraindications has been identified based on input from various medical professionals. The final decision to perform mobilization is under responsibility of the attending physician.
