Empowering caregivers
Employees in the hospital and care sectors take care of us, our kids, our families. Every day, nurses and porters have to push heavy hospital beds. And every day, some of these caregivers leave their shifts with lower back pain, sore shoulders, and other work-related health problems.
It is time to take care of our caregivers!
WeAssist™ is smart and intuitive wheel technology for intelligent hospital bed maneuverability. It is developed to make it easy for caregivers to drive and stop heavy hospital beds – even up and down inclines and around corners.
With this unique system caregivers need less strength and effort to maneuver, push, pull, and stop beds. And the health-related benefits are felt with any movement of the bed.
It was so much easier and so much more comfortable, and the wheel immediately understood what I wanted. I am so thrilled!
Maximize resource efficiency
In addition to taking care of our caregivers, WeAssist addresses the ever-increasing workload generated by demographic changes, among other things.
Beds with WeAssist™ are so easy to maneuver that bed transports can be handled by one person only instead of two – even on inclines. In this way, hospitals can maximize resource efficiency while maintaining high standards of patient care. In short: Valuable staff can be freed up to be allocated to other important tasks.
Another benefit is that WeAssist is completely intuitive.
It was a huge relief, you only had to vaguely indicate a small direction, and then the bed practically drove by itself.
All it takes is a gentle push. No need to schedule training. No need to memorize complicated instructions.
How it works
The caregiver stands at the bed end and gives a gentle push. The pressure applied is instantly detected by WeAssist. Smart software interprets these signals and ensures that the WeAssist system delivers the precise support needed for the specific driving situation.
Whether moving straight ahead, maneuvering, driving up, down, or coming to a stop, WeAssist provides the necessary thrust, helps manage the bed's weight, or reduces speed as required.
