Wave Therapeutics, founded in 2020 by Jessica Bussert, RN, is a Chicago-based company that has developed a smart cushion to prevent pressure injuries, also known as bed sores.
Jessica Bussert's journey as a serial entrepreneur, emergency room nurse, and her background in IT and engineering, has been instrumental in the creation of Wave Therapeutics. Her experience as a lifelong maker and robotics programmer, combined with her medical expertise, led to the development of the company's core product.
The company operates in the healthcare and biotechnology sectors, with a focus on providing solutions for wheelchair users, particularly veterans. The business model revolves around the sale of its AI-enabled, soft robotics cushioning technology. This smart cushion actively simulates the body's natural defenses against pressure sores, offering a preventative solution to a common and serious medical issue.
The product is an active therapeutic cushion that leverages soft robotics to provide dynamic support and pressure relief. This technology distinguishes it from traditional static cushions, aiming to improve the quality of life for individuals who use wheelchairs for extended periods.
