This is my first Kickstarter page that has been done. We have been up and running for six days now and we have raised $1,070. We were featured as a staff pick which was great! I am open to suggestions on how to go about getting more views on our page and ways to help us reach our goal. Below is a short description of our company as well as the link to our Kickstarter page. I hope you enjoy!

Movi Medical has created a patient mobility chair that is designed, in cooperation with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Hospital, with a view toward addressing the gap in patient and staff experience and safety that comes from the use of wheelchairs. Movi is the only transport chair available with unique technology designed specifically to reduce injuries to both patients and staff incurred in assisting, transferring, and moving patients in the hospital as well as with home use. Movi Medical produces the m1 and m2 patient transport chairs. These chairs can be used in hospitals or homes. They provide increased lumbar support which makes them more comfortable than standard wheelchairs. These chairs also come with an integrated stand assist lift system with a flat plate footrest that stays level with the floor. Both of these features helps the patient to stand and get out of the chair easier.

How do you think the staff found your project? Did you contact them?

[Movi Medical]

Whenever we were first starting the page we contacted some of the staff at Kickstarter because they originally did not accept pages that were for medical equipment. They decided to give our product a try after learning more about it. That might have helped but we did not ask directly to be a staff favorite.

Do you feel that being a staff pick has had a big impact on your campaign?

I think that it helps in the sense that more people have viewed our page and potentially pledged money.
