ExoRise employs exoskeleton technology in a novel approach to patient transfer
exoRise has always strived to achieve patient transfer through a timely, straightforward mechanism. Our solution satisfies a number of key concepts:
-
Portable and lightweight to encourage nurse compliance
-
Easy to attach for integration into workflow
-
Applies torque about a single joint
-
Limited number of moving parts
-
Promotes natural patient biomechanics
Current patient transfer solutions are bulky and difficult to use, lifting patients like dead weight and encouraging poor compliance and putting nurses at risk.
exoRise's patient-oriented approach not only supports the natural biomechanics of sit-to-stand transfer but also encourages compliance through a safe, portable, and easy-to-use design.
The exoRise prototype has achieved our goals through the careful implementation of state-of-the-art exoskeleton technology. Our approach possesses a number of features that promote effectiveness and compliance including:
-
A sturdy, lightweight frame
-
Quick attachment ratchet straps
-
Easy-to-clean, non-slip fabric
-
Intuitive control system and nurse interface
-
Battery-powered for portability
-
Can accommodate patients up to 220 lbs
