To understand the fascinating background of Marodyne LiV, let’s step back to the 1980s.
1981
Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off on its maiden mission, marking the success of NASA’s first reusable spacecraft.
1983
The first spacecraft to leave the solar system was Pioneer 10.
1983
Mission Specialist Sally Ride became the first American woman to fly in space.
1986–1989
Voyager 2 visited Uranus and Neptune.
From Space Research to Everyday Wellness
Amid these successes, NASA had growing concerns about the health of astronauts on longer missions. Bone density loss in zero gravity was becoming a serious problem. NASA challenged leading scientists to develop a non-invasive, drug-free way to stabilize their astronauts’ bones.
Professor Clinton Rubin led the NASA Vibe Project, researching the cellular effects and mechanisms of zero gravity, and developing the low-intensity vibration platform that would become Marodyne LiV.
Clinton T. Rubin, Ph.D. Chief Scientific Officer, SUNY Distinguished Professor and Chair, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Stony Brook University, New York.
Professor Rubin set out to find new methods for maintaining bone density while preserving an astronaut’s mobility, muscle strength, and balance in space. The result was a vibration platform that astronauts could stand on, transmitting low-vibration stimuli to activate cells and support the health of their bones and muscles.
What zero gravity is to astronauts, age is to us on earth.
Dr. Rubin and his team understood that if low-intensity vibration therapy worked for astronauts, it could work for anyone. Across decades of research, studies, and more than $70 million of investment, the Marodyne LiV device was developed for in-home use.
Where space medicine meets in-home treatment.
Low-intensity vibration technology has been refined and repeatedly subjected to new studies. Over more than 20 years, the device was revised and improved until it was ready for general medical and home use.
What we believe
Our mission
To help Canadians maintain strong bones through safe, non-invasive technology that supports bone density and helps reduce the impact of osteoporosis.
Our vision
A future where Canadians maintain strong bones and lifelong mobility.
Our values
Innovation
We seek the best evidence-based technologies available. We do not promote what is convenient. We promote what the research supports.
Expertise
We bring deep knowledge to every solution. Our team understands the healthcare landscape and the specific challenges patients face when navigating bone health options.
Integrity
We act with honesty in every interaction. We will always tell you what we know, and we will be clear about what we do not know.
Service
We show up for patients and partners, every time. From your first call to long after your device arrives.
Collaboration
We work closely with medical professionals to improve patient outcomes. The best results happen when patients, practitioners, and suppliers work together.
