In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, we welcome Jeremy Bronen, mechanical engineer turned healthcare innovator, and the founder and CEO of SedMed.
Jeremy looked what is usually considered a deeply personal problem and turned it nto a mission to protect the dignity and safety of older adults, people with disabilities, and those who care for them.
Toileting-related falls are one of the most common—and dangerous—injury sources for both patients and caregivers.
Through SedMed, he’s addressing the high-risk, often overlooked act of toilet transfers with mechanical design rooted in empathy, usability, and real-world needs.

The hidden dangers of daily ADLs (Activities of Daily Living)How toileting-related falls impact patients and caregivers alike
SedMed’s innovative assistive technology solutions
Why engineers need to listen deeply to nurses and frontline caregivers
Whether you're in long-term care, rehab, acute settings—or designing the next great product—this episode is full of insights that center safety, dignity, and the human side of healthcare design.
