Care

Caregiving wearable robot · care facilities · home care

Caregiving repeats the motions of lifting patients and changing their position dozens of times a day. Bionic Suit, a 3rd-generation textile wearable robot, is worn over everyday clothing without a rigid frame, easing the lower-back load of those repeated motions.
