- Alex O'Keefe: CTO
HT Systems is an assistive technology company that uses engineering ingenuity to develop solutions to assist the elderly and disabled. Our goal is to transform the lives of people in care, through clever design.
Our first product, the Kera sit2sit hoist, has already made a huge difference in the lives of people living with disability.
There are
over 600,000 Australasians and millions more globally that need assistance from a device like the Kera sit2sit every day and with an aging population this number is growing.
Over 20 years ago Keith Alexander (the inventor behind the global phenomenon, Springfree trampoline) started work on a new way to transfer people in care, with support from the University of Canterbury. In January 2018, HT Systems was formed to bring Keith’s innovative concept to market.
Working in close collaboration with a wide range of health professionals, caregivers and patients, in real situations, we have developed Kera sit2sit to where it is today; a comfortable, safe and easy-to-use solution that is equally “at home” in the home or in a care facility.
Our founding team have a strong mission and driving vision to ensure a safer and easier way of transferring people in care. We aim to ensure safe working environments for caregivers, respectful support of people in care and ultimately, to enable people to live their best lives.
The Kera sit2sit is only the beginning, we plan to be a multiproduct, global technology company.
