Development of Patient Mobility Assistance and Transfer System

This project introduces a portable and automated patient lifting and transfer system that functions as a mobile seating unit. Unlike conventional wheelchairs, the design features an exoskeleton-inspired structure, enabling patients to sit comfortably in various environments. The primary objective is to improve the quality of life for individuals with paralysis by providing mobility support in both hospital and home settings. The system not only reduces the physical effort required for patient handling but also minimizes workplace strain and injury risks for caregivers. It is adaptable to various body sizes and clothing conditions, enabling safe and convenient patient transfer with minimal human intervention. The device requires only one operator and ensures smooth movement from one location to another with ease.

Abstract

This project introduces a portable and automated patient lifting and transfer system that functions as a mobile seating unit. Unlike conventional wheelchairs, the design features an exoskeleton-inspired structure, enabling patients to sit comfortably in various environments. The primary objective is to improve the quality of life for individuals with paralysis by providing mobility support in both hospital and home settings. The system not only reduces the physical effort required for patient handling but also minimizes workplace strain and injury risks for caregivers. It is adaptable to various body sizes and clothing conditions, enabling safe and convenient patient transfer with minimal human intervention. The device requires only one operator and ensures smooth movement from one location to another with ease.
