About the solution
Rosana has no engineering, medical or technical degree. She is a self-taught who searched on her own to help her mother. It took the inventor 25 years to fully develop her product. The device consists of a vertical metal structure, with an electric motor, and wheels, that allows the user to keep standing up.
Rose had a car accident, in 1991, which left her paralyzed and almost got her killed. Her daughter didn’t want to accept that she would never be able to stand, so she developed the Up Rose.
“The doctors told me my mother would never walk again. I started dreaming that, one day, I would be able to see my mother standing up again, doing simple daily activities”, the inventor explained.
This dream came true, because Rosana worked hard to invent a creative and innovative solution, inspired by a childhood memory. “My father used to fill an oil drum with water, so I would use it in the summer as a small pool. At some point, the water would stop my body from going down. So I tried to adapt that idea into this device”, Rosana described.
“Now I can hug my children and my grandchildren. I wasn’t able to do that when I’m on the wheelchair”, Rose said.
The invention did safety tests in Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.
Rosana is already sharing her solution: She gave an Up Rose to Davi Abreu, a Paralympic rugby player.
