About This Business
Products and Services
Active Body, Inc. is a startup company in the Atlanta, GA area. Our mission is to make life better for the elderly and people with physical deficiencies. We have designed a wheelchair that will encourage continued standing and walking for those who can still do so with some assistance. The Rise Active Chair features a robotic powered lift that will help the user to transition naturally and easily to a standing position. Walking is facilitated within a safe supportive frame.
Active Body has completed an engineering design and has built a Test Chair in collaboration with the Global Center for Medical Innovation (GCMI). Animations of the Rise Active Chair are found below, as well as a video of the Test Chair in operation.
The United States Patent Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patents 9,649,236 and 9,855,175 covering the design and overall product concept to Active Body, Inc. The protection afforded by the patent allows the company to explore licensing of the technology to medical device manufacturers worldwide.

BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.
BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
