In our work as occupational therapists, and especially within the VA healthcare system, we've seen how the right equipment can make a meaningful difference in a Veteran’s independence, safety, and dignity. These thirteen RehabMart products are the top sellers to the VA, not just because they’re practical, but because they offer proven, life-changing solutions for Veterans and their care teams.
In fact, they’re so forward-thinking, we believe they belong on the set of Shark Tank! From fall recovery technology to adaptive rings that control the home, these tools support real-world recovery, mobility, and autonomy for Veterans across a range of abilities and diagnoses.
Mobility products that belong on Shark Tank generally meet three criteria:
Shark Tank investors tend to favor medical or assistive devices that:
The thirteen products in this review, all vetted for rehab use, meet these benchmarks. While not all are “high-tech,” their real-world outcomes are exactly what savvy investors look for.
While Shark Tank has featured several assistive products, few true mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, transfer devices, or home modification tools, have made it to air. However, innovative solutions like the Lotus Smart Ring, a wearable home controller, and IndeeLift Human Floor Lift would be strong contenders. These tools help restore autonomy and reduce injury risk, aligning perfectly with Shark Tank's interest in scalable, problem-solving products.
Over the years, Shark Tank has featured a growing number of veteran-owned businesses, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit and problem-solving mindset of those who’ve served. While there isn’t an official count published by the show, there have been numerous veteran-made businesses or products that have pitched on the Tank since the series began. These range from fitness gear and grooming tools to meal services and tactical accessories.
What sets veteran-made products apart is their mission-driven design that often solves problems veterans experienced firsthand during service or recovery.
While Shark Tank is known for its lifestyle, tech, and consumer product pitches, some medical products have successfully made their mark in the Tank. A few dozen medical-related products have been funded or advanced after appearing on the show. These include:
Products that gain traction typically combine clinical utility with consumer-friendly usability. For investors and clinicians alike, the value lies in a product’s ability to scale while making a measurable difference in someone’s day-to-day life.
