CAREHAND / HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY
A different approach to patient transfer.
CareHand is developing compact, automated lateral-transfer technology designed to reduce conventional manual pushing, pulling and lifting—while keeping caregivers in control.
01 / THE CHALLENGE
Routine care.
A real physical burden.
Patient handling is an essential part of healthcare. For staff, it can also mean repeated physical strain, difficult positioning and demanding coordination.
Examine the evidenceof 973 healthcare workers in one survey reported past work-related musculoskeletal disorders or pain.
Applied Ergonomics (2024). Survey finding relates to patient handling more broadly, not solely lateral transfers. Read the research ↗
02 / OUR APPROACH
Automation shaped by the realities of care.
A distinct transfer principle
Exploring automated lateral movement with less reliance on conventional manual force.
Compact by intention
Working toward a portable format suited to established care environments.
Caregiver-led supervision
Designing around preparation, oversight and the practical demands of hospital workflows.
03 / GLOBAL CONTEXT
A focused technology in an established global market.
Hospital patient transfer is not a local concern. Independent market research estimates continued growth in the wider lateral-transfer equipment category.
