High-tech for the care sector
Recent research in nursing and care environments shows that the use of powered exoskeletons, such as the Apogee+, provides a flexible solution to reliably support and relieve healthcare professionals in their daily work with patients – in contrast to other existing but rarely used devices like hoists or fully automated approaches such as care robots.

All while expending less effort and simultaneously enjoying greater safety and significantly lowering the risk of injury.

The deployment of the latest technology also contributes to raising the appeal and value of nursing as a profession – and supports hospitals and care facilities in their efforts to recruit and retain qualified and motivated staff.
