The disclosed principles provide a personal moveable, automated lift mechanism. In one embodiment of an automated personal lift as disclosed herein, the lift may comprise an outer frame comprising a horizontal base support and an outer handrail supported above a perimeter of the horizontal base support by a plurality of outer vertical supports coupled to the horizontal base support, the outer handrail comprising a first opening having a width sufficient for a human user to step through. Such an exemplary lift may also comprise an inner frame positioned within the outer frame and comprising a horizontal platform configured to support the user and an inner handrail supported above a perimeter of the platform by a plurality of inner vertical supports coupled to the platform, the inner handrail comprising a second opening aligned with the first opening in the outer handrail. In addition, the lift may include an automated lifting mechanism coupling the outer frame to the inner frame, and configured to raise and lower the inner frame with respect to the outer frame. Also included may be at least one guide moveably connecting the outer frame to the inner frame, the at least one guide configured to provide horizontal stability between the outer and inner frames during the raising and lowering. Such embodiments may further include a plurality of friction reducing members attached to the base support and configured to allow the lift to be moved to a different location by the user.
