Ergonomic benefits
Personnel in home care as well as ambulance services can use Raizer. In fact, Raizer can be perfect for all personnel working with lifting and moving of individuals with reduced mobility. The helper can, without assistance, handle the Raizer and the person on the floor with minimal physical effort, thus lifting and moving don’t put the assistant’s back, arms, etc. at risk.

You can disassemble Raizer after use, and thus easily transport and use anywhere and in any situation. This innovative aid for lifting and moving allows the assistant to help a fallen person to sit or stand in a few minutes (including the assembly) from arrival on site.
Simple handling
You can carry Raizer in the disassembled form to the place where you intend to use it. It is battery powered and remote controlled.
Design
Liftup mentions that they had cooperated with a partner in design and innovation during the development process to achieve the exclusive expression of the Raizer. They carefully selected all the materials with focus on stability and durability, and in consideration of both the helper and the fallen person.

Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
