Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Robots are commonly used in many settings to help with transportation needs, reduce human injuries, and assisting clinicians during surgeries. These applications could provide direct benefits to patients in the clinical rehabilitation field.

In this study, the feasibility of 2 CARE robot prototypes in facilitating dependent transfers and assisting patient mobility in their daily living activities will be studied.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

An exploratory proof of concept study involving the development and usability of 2 CARE robot prototypes will be validated in a hospital environment, in a broad range of patients.

The findings from this study will then be used to further refine and develop the robot prototypes for future deployment in other hospitals, nursing homes and homes.
