At present, in many medical and care facilities, 2 attendants or caregivers are required to move patients or those in need of care to and from their bed.
There is data showing that nearly 70% of caregivers suffer from back pain due to the heavy burden on their back lifting patients when assisting in normal daily activities.
The Care Assist Robot is equipped not only to assist lifting the patient to and from bed, but to help transport the patient to and from the toilet or other indoor destinations. With use of an assist mechanism, transport by even a single attendant or caregiver can be accomplished as the robot helps to provide more ease and comfort in movement.
One person is able to provide care and assistance alone thereby reducing the physical stress and burden on both the caregiver and care receiver. Being able to support carefree and comfortable transport, results in improvement of the Quality of Life.
People-friendly Operation System
The Care Assist Robot has a universal control design which is safe and easy to operate for both the caregiver and the care receiver. The holding arm, operated by the caregiver, and the mobility mechanism which transports care receivers, are designed with consideration given in reducing the burden on the posture and position for both the care receiver and caregiver.
Easy & Safe Adjustment Mechanism
A universal operation interface and assist mechanism makes it possible for the attendant or caregiver to easily adjust the arm which holds and supports the patient with one hand. Consideration has also been given to safety for the caregivers and the care receivers with a feature that prevents accidental pinching.
Gentle, Wrap-around Holding Device
The patient's stress, burden and anxiety is reduced by being gently enveloped in the holding device.
Easy Power Assisted Dolly
The power-assist feature lessens the work load as the attendants and caregivers do not feel the patient's weight during transport.
