Kitty (83) refused to use a walker – then the family developed this.
Kitty Gedde refused to get a walker when she sold her car. Then her entrepreneur son Øyvind Gedde and granddaughter Trine had to think outside the box – and developed a smart tricycle that has put the whole family to work.

Doga awards the prize to actors they believe promote diversity, equality, and universal design. 
The mobility device developed by Movu resembles a specially designed walker. According to the startup, there are approximately one billion people in the world who need a little support when they walk. They therefore consider the market potential to be significant.

“I don't want to look like I'm 100 years old!” – This statement from Øyvind's mother was the beginning of Movu, an aid that doesn't feel like a limitation, but an opportunity.

SeniorSupport had a chat with the founder to learn more about the vision behind Movu.
