Inclusive Innovation
Genion designs rescue mobility solutions that empower every responder, in every community, across every environment. Our commitment to inclusive innovation ensures the GENIE platform meets the diverse needs of today’s emergency workforce—regardless of geography, gender, physical capability, or operational challenge.
What inclusive innovation means at Genion
Inclusive innovation is more than a design principle—it is a responsibility.
Genion creates evacuation and mobility systems that reduce physical strain, expand operational capability, and ensure safe, equitable response across rural, remote, urban, and extreme environments. By centering user diversity and real-world constraints, the GENIE platform empowers responders of all backgrounds, strengths, and roles to perform lifesaving work safely.
Human Centred Ergonomics
Genion designs equipment that accounts for real variations in responder strength, mobility, training, and experience. Zero-lift design principles reduce injury risk, support smaller-framed responders, and ensure teams can work longer, safer, and more effectively.
Accessible Technology for All Environments
Our solutions support responders working in remote northern communities, Indigenous regions, industrial sites, high-density urban areas, and disaster zones. GENIE’s terrain-agnostic system opens access to safe evacuation where conventional stretchers fail.
Safety Without Barriers
Inclusive innovation means removing operational barriers—physical, geographic, and logistical. GENIE technology enables mixed-gender teams, lighter staffing levels, aging workforce participation, and improved retention by reducing injury-related burnout.
Inclusion Matters
Emergency response is evolving. Today’s teams reflect a wide range of genders, ages, backgrounds, and physical capabilities. Communities stretch across remote regions, dense urban centers, industrial sites, and extreme climates—yet traditional stretchers were never built for this diversity.
Why Inclusion Matters
Inclusive innovation enables:
- Safe patient evacuation by responders of all body types and strengths.
- Equal rescue capability for remote, rural, and northern communities.
- Operations that no longer rely on heavy lifting or brute strength.
- Reduced long-term injury costs for EMS and fire services.
- A safer, more resilient, and more sustainable emergency workforce.
- Support for an aging workforce through zero-lift design.
- Career longevity by preventing avoidable strain injuries and saving careers.
