Empowering Independence Through Innovation

At Wareologie™, we believe that physical limitations or surgical recovery shouldn’t mean giving up independence. Our mission is clear: to develop innovative medical equipment that empowers people to live fully, safely, and confidently — whether they’re recovering from an injury or choosing to age in place.

We recognize that challenges can be both temporary and lifelong. That’s why we collaborate directly with users to create solutions that meet real needs. Our products make everyday tasks easier, faster, and safer, while staying accessible and affordable.

Our Flagship Products

  • Buttons 2 Button Magnetic Shirt Adaptors:
    Designed to eliminate the frustration of traditional buttons, this simple yet effective tool helps people dress independently and regain confidence.
  • Portable Parallel Bars:
    Our latest innovation in early mobility rehabilitation is transforming patient care. These mobile parallel bars allow clinicians to provide therapy at the bedside, helping patients stand sooner and safer. Endorsed by Safe Patient Handling advocates and integrated by 15 major healthcare systems, including the Veterans Health Administration, this technology helps reduce hospital-induced conditions and empowers patients to recover with dignity.

 

Innovation Born from Real Challenges

In the summer of 2020, when COVID-19 isolation measures restricted patients’ access to standing rehabilitation, we knew there had to be a better way. Delayed therapy leads to decreased function, longer recovery times, and serious medical complications. Our response? The creation of the Portable Parallel Bars, a tool that brings therapy directly to the patient’s room, ensuring access to stand with confidence.

Creating Adaptive and Rehabilitation Equipment with Purpose

Our Founder’s Story

Gina Adams, our founder, was inspired by her stepfather’s struggle with buttoning shirts as Parkinson’s Disease progressed. This experience — shared by millions facing physical challenges — sparked the creation of Wareologie™. Today, our products help restore freedom, confidence, and dignity for people facing similar challenges.

Looking Ahead

Our journey is one of persistence and innovation. Despite challenges in securing traditional funding, Wareologie™’s strategic alliances have led to a successful IP acquisition and the development of cutting-edge solutions. With the support of Pivotal Health Solutions, we are prepared to scale production and introduce a new version of Portable Parallel Bars in Q1 2025.

Wareologie – A New Name in Rehabilitation Equipment

Are you curious where the name Wareologie came from?
“Ware” came from the word hardware. We develop hardware through user experience R&D, with products tested and vetted by end-users. Their honest feedback helps us refine and perfect the performance of Wareologie products.
Ecology & Anthropologie – Here’s where the “-ologie” comes from. By studying one’s ecology, we ensure optimal performance. “-ology” refers to the science and study of human beings. We intentionally spelled it “ie” to highlight independence and empowerment.
In short – we are creating hardware that includes the context of the environment and the human experience. Creating solutions and removing barriers.

Wareologie™ – A New Name in Rehabilitation Equipment

At Wareologie™, our name reflects our core mission of blending innovative hardware with a deep understanding of the human experience. Here’s how it came to be:

  • “Ware” originates from “hardware.” We specialize in developing high-quality, functional hardware through user-centered research and development (R&D). By collaborating directly with end-users, we refine our products based on real-world feedback to ensure they meet the highest performance standards.
  • “-ologie” is inspired by ecology and anthropology. Understanding users’ environments and experiences is fundamental to our design process. The suffix “-ology” reflects our commitment to the study and science of human interaction with our products. The intentional “ie” spelling underscores the independence and empowerment our products provide.

In essence, Wareologie creates hardware solutions that integrate environmental context and human experience to remove barriers and improve lives.

A key example of our work is the VHA Innovation Ecosystem.

The Portable Parallel Bars, integrated into hospital institutions across the US, are a direct result of our user-experience collaboration with Veterans Health Administration physical and occupational therapists.
