Kalogon

Kalogon is a venture-backed small business based in Melbourne, Florida, founded by top engineering talent from SpaceX and NASA. Our mission is to eliminate the stresses of sitting and improve health through inventive seating solutions.
Kalogon’s flagship medical product is a customized smart cushion, Orbiter Med, that relieves pain and fatigue experienced by individuals who use wheelchairs. We have three other products in the medical space: Bondar (back support), Booster (smart cushion accessory), and our original Orbiter (smart cushion).


Beyond healthcare, we’re expanding into defense and aviation with three U.S. Air Force Direct to Phase II SBIR contracts to design custom seating for B-52 and E-4B aircrew, and a commercial aviation proof of concept.
Kalogon is a fast-paced company that leverages lean startup methodology to rapidly improve our technology in close partnership with our customers and partners. At the core of our approach is empathy-driven design, ensuring that we deeply understand the challenges our users face and create solutions that directly address their needs, enhancing both comfort and quality of life.
