VibeTech pays tribute to CFO Ed Morgan

Published by: Jeff Pederson • Dec 16, 2021

Dear Friends,


No words can express the sadness we feel with Ed Morgan's passing. Ed dedicated the last many years of his life to VibeTech, working hard to ensure that our technology could emerge from its humble beginnings to become the standard of care for people unable to stand or walk on their own. 

 

As our CFO, he crunched the numbers and plotted our financial course. He kept an eye on our future and found ways of bringing life to our fledgling startup that required complex and creative thinking. Ed liked to tell any business prospects that he felt the reason he survived his initial battle with cancer was because he needed to stay alive to help VibeTech succeed. “It was divine intervention,” he said.

 

We have succeeded in creating a technology that has made a lot of people stronger with less pain. That would not have been possible without Ed. Now we carry on in his absence, aiming to make family and friends proud of the company of which he is such an essential part. Thank you, Ed, for your dedication, your passion, your wisdom, and your friendship. 

 

Let’s all take a deep breath in to absorb the kindness and joy Ed brought into our lives. As we breathe out, let those memories solidify and bring a smile to our faces every time they resurface. 

 

Rest in peace, Ed. As you would say, "Onward and upward."


-Jeff Leismer and Team

VibeTech explores partnerships to help slow Parkinson's progression

By Jeff Pederson • 18 Feb, 2022
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. The Accelerated Movement for Parkinson’s “AMP” Project out of Gregory Boxing is a boxing program designed for people with Parkinson’s to use physical and mental exercise to better manage their lives with the disease. According to VibeTech’s Steve Bateman, exercise and physical activity are believed to promote neural plasticity for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, along with the potential to slow the disease’s progression. Boxing for Parkinson’s disease has recently received increased attention across the globe. Along with the positive impact of the AMP Project, VibeTech’s VibeSitPRO portable therapeutic vibration rehabilitation device is well-suited for use by people living with Parkinson’s disease. For information on the AMP program, contact Marty Maibuecher at maibuecher@asmchicago.com.

VibeTech launches collaborative study with Florida State University

By Jeff Pederson • 28 Jan, 2022
VibeTech has entered into a new collaboration with Florida State University. VibeTech is working with Dr. Lynn Panton, Mia Kay Newlin Ph.D., RN., M.S.N., and Dr. Paul Katz, along with VibeTech’s Medical Advisor, Dr. Terry Sullivan on this collaboration. Dr. Panton’s research interests are in the area of exercise training and its effects on body composition, muscular strength and functional outcomes of healthy older adults and chronically diseased populations. Dr. Newlin-Bradner’s initial educational pursuits were in the field of exercise physiology. Dr. Newlin-Bradner then pursued nursing and obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from Florida State University followed by an Master of Science degree in nursing education from Florida State University. Dr. Newlin-Bradner’s research interest is focused on the role of activity in the prevention and management of chronic disease, with a specific emphasis on women with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Dr. Katz has been practicing geriatrics for 36 years. He chose geriatrics because there was a great need for geriatric specialists, the patients’ medical conditions are complex and it is a fairly new specialty. Through the collaboration, VibeTech and the Florida State University will study the benefits of the VibeSitPro - a safe, pain-free way to activate muscles impacted by atrophy and restore physical function due to age, injury, or surgery for all ages. VibeTech is currently preparing to launch its new VibeSitPRO with the first five portable therapeutic vibration rehabilitation devices set to be delivered in the first quarter of 2022.
