For decades, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been confined to fixed locations – patients come to the treatment, not the other way around. Dr. Keith Van Meter spent thirty years treating offshore divers with HBOT. His conclusion: proximity to treatment changes outcomes.

Mobile HBOT wasn't built overnight
It took a century of science, iteration, and one founding vision to make HYPERVAN real.
Mobile HBOT wasn't
built overnight.
It took a century of science, iteration, and one founding vision to make it real.
Early hyperbaric chambers appear in hotels and field hospitals. Pressurized air treats respiratory illness during the Spanish Flu – crude, but the concept is proven.
1900sIn the 1950s, Dutch cardiac surgeon Ite Boerema conceived the idea of flooding the body's tissues with extra oxygen – working with the Royal Dutch Navy to pioneer surgery inside a hyperbaric chamber. His results were so successful that a large operating hyperbaric chamber was built at the University of Amsterdam. Boerema's team was the first to treat Gas Gangrene with HBOT, and his landmark publication demonstrated that life could be sustained in the near-complete absence of circulating red blood cells.
1950sVanMeter pioneers deck decompression chambers for maritime workers – bringing pressurized treatment directly to offshore crews for the first time.
1979The first mobile HBOT unit is improvised on a trailer. VanMeter's swine trials establish mobile hyperbaric treatment as scientifically viable.
1980sHBOT receives formal clinical approval. Chamber design standardizes and hyperbaric therapy enters mainstream medicine.
2000sHYPERVAN is founded. The vision: certified, mobile hyperbaric treatment in the field – faster and closer than anything before it.
2016Prototype design begins. The team starts translating the concept into a purpose-built vehicle platform for hyperbaric delivery.
2019Global patents awarded. HYPERVAN's technology and vehicle architecture are protected across international markets.
2023Third-generation design solidified. Years of iteration converge into the definitive HYPERVAN platform – refined, validated, and ready for production.
2025First certified vehicle deliveries. HYPERVAN units reach operators, marking the transition from development to deployed technology.
2026EMT Pilot Program launches. HYPERVAN enters pre-hospital emergency workflows, putting mobile hyperbaric treatment in the hands of first responders.
