A very personal mission
Loop+ was founded by two sisters, Kath and Clare. They are driven by a very personal mission to improve the health of Clare’s son, Evander, who was born with a tumour pressing on his spine that left him paralysed.
Like many wheelchair users, he has no feeling or movement below his waist which means he doesn’t feel pain or discomfort, the body’s natural warning signals to move. This lack of movement creates significant chronic health issues. At 9 years old he already has scoliosis, been hospitalised numerous times, and has recurring pressure injuries.
There was nothing to track Clare’s son’s functional recovery, so we built it!
“Loop+ was born from our desire to proactively monitor the risks of day to day life in a wheelchair. To give Evander and families like ours the tools and information they need to manage their own health - to create and sustain healthy habits.”
