Exoskeletons adapted for caregivers and nurses

Exoskeletons adapted for caregivers and nurses

The profession of a caregiver is one of the most rewarding but also one of the most affected by physical wear and tear at work. Their main activities generate intense or repetitive efforts:

- Assisting with patient mobility: lifting, transferring, repositioning, walking support

- Prolonged work in standing or bent positions for care

- Handling medical equipment

Fatigue and muscle tension are often present at the end of long workdays. Wearing an exoskeleton is an innovative solution to relieve and preserve the health of this essential and irreplaceable profession.

NURSING ASSISTANT

Margaux C.

"It is truly satisfying to have been able to participate in this experiment. Throughout the testing phases, our feedback and needs were fully taken into account to improve the device. Today, the result is here. Wearing the exoskeleton 'Hapo for Caregivers' allows me to have the correct posture systematically when I perform bed baths. It is really an advantage in our profession."

NURSING ASSISTANT

Angélique V.

"I have been in this profession for 22 years, and this experience has truly convinced me of the benefits of using the exoskeleton. Between the first version of the device tested in 2021 and today's version, the improvements have really made it an everyday 'ally', essential for avoiding awkward movements and easing certain tasks, such as caring for residents. It is lightweight, easy to put on, discreet, washable, adjustable... I absolutely recommend it, regardless of age!"
