GINA ADAMS

Founder & President

Gina Adams is a patient-centered leader in non-pharmaceutical rehabilitation innovation. With a background in business and deep advocacy for patient safety and mobility, she has dedicated her career to translating breakthrough rehabilitation technologies into real-world clinical impact. Her work is guided by evidence-based measurable outcomes, long-term clinician relationships, and a commitment to improving care for medically complex patients.

Gina has successfully patented, commercialized, and exited rehab technologies. She led their integration into critical care environments, including ICU settings in hospitals throughout the US. Through collaborative partnerships with leading health systems and national organizations, including the Veterans Health Administration Innovation Network, she has helped advance early mobility, clinician safety, and patient confidence in high-acuity settings.

Today, Gina continues to lead innovation-forward initiatives that unite clinicians, advocates, educators, and industry partners to expand access to science-backed, non-pharmacological rehabilitation and prevention solutions, driving a more human-centered future of care.
