The Future of Care: Armoring Our Caregivers
Integration of Assisted Exoskeletons in Senior Home Care
The exoskeleton serves as a direct mechanical aid to prolong the health and career longevity of our care professionals, ensuring sustainable, high-quality care delivery
Introducing
EXIA
Integration in Senior Home
In the core of our Healthcare System, a quiet and profound transformation is underway, one where the dignity and well-being of both our patients and our caregivers are the absolute priority. These Assisted Exoskeletons provide a unique supportive frameworks engineered to protect those who dedicate their lives to others.
These devices are designed for our Caregivers (Préposés aux Bénéficiaires) and Nurses, the vital pillars of our care infrastructure. Every day, they perform essential acts of love and devotion while assisting patients and residents.
Consider the immense, constant strength required to:
-
Lift and reposition a dependent patient with gentleness and safety
-
Assist with showering those whose weight or mobility makes these crucial moments difficult
Today, the exoskeleton changes everything. It is not here to replace the human touch or the compassionate gaze; it is here to amplify the capacity to love and to care. It absorbs the strenuous load, allowing the caregiver to focus fully on the human being, the conversation, and the essential connection.
Redefining Human Assistance in Senior Home
As Exobot brings EXIA to Quebec and Canada for the very first time, we are proud to support a technology that truly changes lives. Every assisted lift is a moment of increased security for the patient and a prevented injury for the caregiver. It is the union of technology and heart, serving shared dignity. This is true progress: taking care of those who take care of us
Step 1: Preparation, both hands on EXIA handles
Step 2: Assisted Lift and Load Absorption
Step 3: Secure Transfer and Gentle Repositioning
Step 1: Preparation, both hands on EXIA handles
-
The Caregiver quickly dons the Exia device. It is not a complex harness but a lightweight system that adjusts to the body
-
Before the lift, the caregiver establishes verbal contact with the patient/resident. Because Exia is non-intrusive, it allows for essential eye contact and clear communication to reassure and coordinate the movement
-
The Exia is activated, preparing the mechanical system to take over the required load
-
Both hands of the patien should be on the handles
-
Both arms of the health care professional soudl be under the arms of the patien in all times durginf the procedure
Step 2: Assisted and Load Absorption
-
The caregiver initiates the lifting movement (e.g., moving from sitting to standing, or during a transfer)
-
Exia Engages: The smart mechanical system immediately absorbs the majority of the lifting force (the load) that would typically be borne by the caregiver's back and shoulders
-
The caregiver executes the motion with reduced physical strain, allowing them to focus entirely on the patient's smooth transition, balance, and comfort
Step 3: Secure and Gentle Transfer
-
The patient/resident is securely transferred or repositioned (e.g., to a wheelchair, or raised in a bed)
-
Optimal Safety: Thanks to the stability provided by the Exia, the movement is carried out with increased precision, minimizing jolts or imbalances, which is crucial for individuals with limited mobility
-
Enhanced Control: The mechanical assistance provides caregivers with a steady base, allowing for finer adjustments during the placement of the patient
-
Dignity Maintained: The smooth, controlled nature of the transfer ensures the patient experiences minimal discomfort or anxiety, preserving their sense of dignity
Step 4: Gentle Repositioning
-
The caregiver utilizes the remaining assistance from the Exia to gently settle the patient into their new position
-
The device helps maintain the caregiver's posture, making it easier to lean in, adjust pillows, or secure straps without twisting or straining their back
-
This step ensures the patient is not just moved, but comfortably and correctly positioned for their continued care or activity
Step 5: Enjoy the benefits of more Endurance and Focus
-
Exia's benefits extend far beyond immediate heavy lifting; the system provides continuous support, mitigating the cumulative fatigue associated with maintaining posture, leaning, and bracing throughout a shift
-
By reducing the constant muscle activation required for leveraging and subtle adjustments, the Exia conserves the caregiver's energy, allowing for sustained mental clarity and physical presence
-
This preserved energy translates directly to consistent, compassionate quality of care from the beginning of the shift to the end, ensuring the caregiver can remain focused on the patient, not their own exhaustion
Step 6: Protecting Careers: Enjoy Life with Less Back Injury
-
The process concludes with the most vital long-term benefit: Caregivers finish their shift with significantly reduced muscle fatigue and joint strain
-
By actively preventing the daily accumulation of physical trauma, the Exia directly helps secure and prolong the professional careers of dedicated healthcare workers
-
This technology stands as a profound investment in human capital, affirming that our caregivers deserve to enjoy life with vitality, returning home with energy to spare, free from the burden of chronic injury
-
Back injuries account for more than half (54.2%) of all musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in Quebec. EXIA is the solution to this growing problem
