照護者外骨骼省力輔具 2025/07/23

 

簡介 Introductions

依據國內長照領域專家建議與長照機構需求,開發具下背部支撐功能之照護者外骨骼省力輔具,有效改善不便穿脫與穿戴期間活動受限等問題,協助照護人員減輕負擔,以因應長照場域人力短缺與高齡化挑戰。

To address the urgent challenges of workforce shortages and an aging caregiver population in care institutions, we have developed a caregiver-assistive exoskeleton with lower back support. This device effectively addresses common issues such as difficulty in donning and doffing, as well as movement restrictions during use. It helps reduce the physical burden on caregivers and meets the needs of domestic long-term care institution.

特色與創新 Characters and Innovations

  • 改善使用者體驗,穿戴方便、服貼舒適,讓動作更自然,穿戴時間小於60秒。
  • 降低照護過程中因單調重複動作造成的下背部負擔,助力結構模組可減少下背施力達25%。考量多數使用者為女性照服員,設計強調性別兼容與穿戴舒適性。
  • 整體採用軟布材與機構件結合的複合式設計,透過布材的包覆性達到保護與重量分散效果,並藉由機構件提升助力與透氣性。
  • 內建姿態角度與動作次數偵測功能,可搭配行動裝置與APP,即時提醒照護人員工作狀態。

  • Quick to wear in under 60 seconds, offering a snug fit and natural movement for everyday use.
  • It reduces lower back strain by up to 25% during repetitive tasks common in caregiving routines. Designed with female caregivers in mind, it ensures gender-inclusive comfort and long-term wearability.
  • The hybrid structure combines soft fabric for protection and weight balance with mechanical support and ventilation.
  • Built-in sensors track posture and motion, with app integration for real-time caregiver activity reminders.

應用與效益 Applications and Benefits

減緩照護員因反覆動作造成的肌肉與軀幹勞損,有效降低職業傷害風險,提升人員留任率。

Designed to ease musculoskeletal strain from repetitive tasks, helping prevent occupational injuries and improve caregiver retention rate.
