The challenge: more patients, fewer staff – increasing strain

Das Gesundheitswesen steht unter massivem Druck: steigende Patientenzahlen, Fachkräftemangel und zunehmender Kostendruck zwingen Krankenhäuser dazu, effizienter zu arbeiten – ohne Kompromisse bei der Versorgungsqualität. Gleichzeitig gehört der Patiententransport zu den körperlich belastendsten Tätigkeiten im Klinikalltag. Das Schieben von Krankenhausbetten erfordert hohe Kraft, führt zu ungünstigen Körperhaltungen und belastet Rücken, Muskeln und Gelenke – insbesondere bei Steigungen, Manövern oder abrupten Bewegungen.

The result:

High physical and mental strain
Increasing sickness absence
Inefficient use of scarce staff resources

The solution: intelligent mobility that supports like a second person

WeAssist™ ist eine innovative Mobilitätslösung, die den Patiententransport grundlegend verändert. Durch einen intelligenten Algorithmus erkennt das System die Bewegungsimpulse der Pflegekraft und unterstützt automatisch bei nahezu jedem Fahrmanöver. Das Prinzip ist einfach – vergleichbar mit einem E-Bike: Der Mensch gibt die Richtung vor. Das System liefert die Kraft.

The result:

Safe transport by just one person
Noticeably reduced physical effort
Intuitive use without training

The system gives you the feeling that you’re not driving alone. It effectively replaces the second person.

The decisive difference: scientifically proven, not just claimed

What makes WeAssist special is not only the technology – but the scientific evidence of its effect.

An independent study by FH Münster University of Applied Sciences examined real-life application scenarios with and without WeAssist. Among other things, hand forces, muscle activity, spinal load and posture were measured.

The results are clear:

up to 67% less muscle activity in the muscle groups examined
up to 36% reduced spinal compression forces at L5/S1 level
up to 36% less trunk inclination when pushing
up to 45% reduced hand action forces

for caregiver: noticeable relief

For caregivers, WeAssist primarily means one thing: genuine relief in everyday work. Significantly less physical strain Ergonomic working that protects the back Less stress during demanding transport tasks More focus on the patient instead of manoeuvring The system acts like invisible support – as if a second person were always there.

for the hospital: measurable efficiency

What means relief for caregivers is a clear economic lever for hospitals. By enabling beds to be moved by just one person: Staff resources can be used more efficiently Workflows can be accelerated Productivity in daily operations increases Model calculations show: Potential savings in the millions per year, depending on the size and structure of the hospital. WeAssist turns an everyday process into a measurable efficiency gain.

nursing management: fewer absences, greater satisfaction

Reducing physical strain has a direct impact on staff health: Fewer back and muscle complaints Reduced sickness-related absences Lower sickness rates Greater employee satisfaction and motivation Especially in an environment with rising absence rates, WeAssist becomes a strategic tool for staff retention and relief.
