Automatic Patient Lifter

Abstract

Patient handling and transportation are one of the most important aspects of the medical recovery process. Blunders can happen during patient handling and lifting, which can cause serious injuries to the patient lifting and transferring repositioning and moving patients without using proper techniques or handling equipment can cause musculoskeletal injuries, so if not done carefully. Also, patient handling and transport requires more manpower (stronger), and can also harm the nurses of hospital staff while lifting the patients. Patients as well as the nursing staff may have fatigue while handling and transporting. Hence, we have created a flexible patient handling device, which can easily lift/lower or transport patients with minimum manpower, without any risk and handling is also optimized for minimum effort. Healthcare organizations, unions, government bodies, insurers, educational institutions, and researchers must continue to reduce patient handling risk for both healthcare workers and patients. The school of public health (SPH) Survey is shown to be an easy way to reliably evaluate patient handling systems and workplace culture, target improvement initiatives, and continually monitor the level of patient handling risk in the workplace. Low-risk patient handling gives healthcare providers the means to focus on delivering high-quality patient care, without endangering their health and well-being.
