SafeShift Healthcare Solutions was founded by mechanical engineers, Arliss Sidloski and Sierra Stephenson from the University of Saskatchewan. Our team is deep healthcare industry collaboration to create solutions that truly meet frontline needs.
Our team is passionate about solving real-world problems that impact both healthcare workers and patients. We believe that by listening to caregivers and understanding their daily challenges, we can engineer solutions that make a meaningful difference.
From concept to innovation - the SafeShift story
Through conversations with healthcare workers, we identified patient repositioning as a critical challenge causing widespread injuries and affecting care quality. Our engineering team recognized this as an opportunity to make a real impact.
Extensive consultation with frontline healthcare staff validated our approach. We learned about workflow requirements, safety concerns, and the specific challenges faced in long-term care facilities across Saskatchewan.
Through the SIGMA program, we explored the potential of our project beyond the classroom and made the decision to pursue it as a business.
We plan to begin testing our device in healthcare settings, gathering real-world feedback to refine performance and usability.
Our goal is to launch the device commercially, partnering with healthcare facilities to bring a safer, more efficient patient repositioning solution across Saskatchewan and beyond.
We're always excited to share our story and discuss how SafeShift can benefit your healthcare facility. Reach out to connect with our team.
