FALL PREVENTION SAFETY AND TRAINING SOLUTIONS
Welcome to MediTerry Inc
MediTerry Inc., based out of Tamaroa, IL, has developed GEORGE for Assistive Devices like Front Wheel Walkers and Rollators. The system provides audible and visual cues when the device is used incorrectly and aims to educate users, family members, and caregivers.
Story of development
Background
My name is Blake Terry, President of MediTerry. As a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant with extensive experience across inpatient, outpatient, and home health settings, I, Blake Terry, have dedicated my career to optimizing patient recovery through adaptive and personalized therapeutic interventions. My journey in healthcare, particularly within Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), has granted me a deep understanding of the diverse conditions and challenges faced by patients. This hands-on experience has been pivotal in shaping my approach to patient care, always prioritizing the customization of therapy sessions to maximize their impact on each individual's recovery process.
A recurring observation throughout my career was the widespread misuse of Assistive Devices by patients, a concern that hit close to home with my grandfather, Edward L. George, whose experience mirrored those of many others, leading to falls and related complications. This critical insight spurred a pivotal shift in my professional focus towards innovation in the field of Assistive Technology.
Driven by a commitment to enhance the safety and independence of individuals reliant on mobility aids, I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey to develop a novel Medical Device designed to alert users to incorrect use of their Assistive Equipment. This venture aims not only to prevent falls but also to provide a constant, vigilant presence in the absence of healthcare providers or caregivers, particularly benefiting those in rural areas where access to professional care is often limited.
My vision is to bridge the gap in patient care through technology that empowers users, enhances mobility, and significantly reduces the risk of injury due to falls. By leveraging my background in Physical Therapy and my personal motivation stemming from my grandfather's experiences, I am dedicated to creating innovative solutions that support recovery, promote independence, and foster safer environments for those dependent on assistive devices.
Currently residing in a rural area, I am acutely aware of the challenges faced by communities with limited access to healthcare resources. My goal is to make a tangible difference through devices that offer real-time feedback and guidance, ensuring that individuals, regardless of their location, have the tools they need to navigate their recovery journey with confidence and security.

About MediTerry
Innovative Safety Solutions
"At MediTerry Inc., we understand that safety comes first—especially when it concerns mobility and independence. That's why we developed a state-of-the-art Safety Feedback System specifically for Assistive Devices. This system is designed to prevent misuse and enhance user safety by providing immediate feedback and corrective suggestions. It's not just about preventing accidents; it's about empowering users to feel confident and secure in their everyday movements."
Expanding Education
"Education is a cornerstone of our approach. We plan to offer Continuing Education Units for healthcare professionals to deepen their understanding of mobility aids and safe patient handling. Beyond professional education, we plan to provide practical virtual training for families and caregivers, ensuring that everyone involved in the care process is well-equipped to support their loved ones. Our user education videos will further ensure that patients themselves are knowledgeable and confident in managing their assistive devices."
Safety Device Development and Providers
"MediTerry collaborates closely with Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Certified Occupational Therapist Assistants, and users of Assistive Devices to create the design that truly meet the needs of those involved in patient care. We are dedicated to maintaining a leading edge in medical advancements and techniques, ensuring our patients receive the utmost in care. At present, we are working on offering Continuing Education Units conducted by a skilled therapist, with intentions to broaden these educational opportunities soon. We are also eagerly anticipating the launch of our new, cutting-edge device designed to improve patient care, which we plan to make available for purchase in the near future."

Why I Wrote This Book
This is a short memoir I wrote during a time of uncertainty while navigating tough decisions about a medical device I created in my grandfather’s honor. During the NSF Phase I grant, the path forward was unclear, and writing gave me a way to reflect and heal. Though I had to leave out some details for confidentiality, I hope to release a more in-depth version in the future—to honor him more fully and encourage others facing similar struggles.
