CareGlider

Redefining Mobility Through Compassion and Innovation

Born from one Caregiver’s story. Built for millions more. CareGlider began with a simple belief: caring for someone you love shouldn’t come at the cost of your own safety, strength, or independence. Inspired by a real caregiver’s experience, we set out to rethink mobility around both the person receiving care and the person providing it, creating a better way to keep moving forward, together.

It began with one Caregiver and one impossible day.

When Susan Penski cared for her husband living with Parkinson’s, she searched for a powered wheelchair she could guide safely from behind. None existed. Every solution ignored the Caregiver — until she created her own.

“No one should be injured caring for someone they love.”

— Susan Penski, Inventor & Co-Founder

Turning Compassion into Technology

When CEO David Carson heard Susan’s story and saw the prototype designed by Michael Romeo, he saw what the world had missed — the silent labor of 250 million Caregivers. As a lifelong med-tech innovator, David, along with Susan and Mike set out to build more than a product. Together, they’re leading a movement to make caregiving safer, smarter, and filled with dignity. CareGlider is more than innovation. It’s empathy engineered.
