Vita Inclinata was founded on the belief that lack of technology should never be the difference between life and death for rescue crews, crane operators, and patients.In 2009, Vita founder Caleb Carr was practicing as a search and rescue volunteer in high school. During a routine training mission, his friend and mentor, Don, went into cardiac arrest next to him. A helicopter arrived to transport Don to the hospital, but couldn’t insert its rescue litter due to gusty winds, rotor wash, and the mountainous terrain. After multiple attempts, the helicopter was forced to turn back without them, and Don died as a result. Caleb learned that this was a fairly common problem that caused the loss of many lives. He enrolled in medical school at the University of Colorado – Denver with the goal of saving lives. There, his professor, Dr. Randall Tagg, listened to his story and challenged him to solve the problem.
