The role of a nurse can be incredibly rewarding, yet it is also one of the most physically demanding professions, often resulting in musculoskeletal disorders. The job involves frequent, strenuous, and repetitive tasks that put considerable strain on the body.
- 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.
The most frequent MSD that healthcare workers face is lower back pain (LBP).
Problems with lower back pain, muscle tension, risks of onset or worsening of lower back pain, sciatica, and herniated disc.

"It is truly satisfying to have been able to participate in this experiment. Throughout the testing phases, our feedback and needs were fully considered 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."

"I have been doing this job for 22 years, and this experience has really 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 made truly make it an everyday 'ally', essential for avoiding awkward movements and easing certain tasks, such as bathing residents. It is lightweight, easy to put on, discreet, washable, adjustable... I absolutely recommend it, regardless of age !"
