Assistants Supported by Exoskeletons

Designed for caregivers assisting disabled elderly individuals with turning and transferring, the device can be independently worn and removed.

In 2023, people aged 65 and above accounted for about 15% of the national population. Population aging poses challenges to medical security, health services, chronic disease rehabilitation, elderly care, and economic support. Nursing homes, where elderly individuals are highly concentrated, often face situations where one caregiver must look after multiple residents. Many of these residents are disabled or have limited mobility, requiring assistance with getting up, turning over, getting out of bed, and performing rehabilitation exercises. This results in caregivers frequently performing repetitive and physically demanding bending and lifting movements over extended periods.
