A mobile and transfer assistant robot created by collaboration between nursing home practitioners and startups is used in the medical field.

 

The Korea Veterans Welfare and Welfare Service announced on the 3rd that it had received a donation of a moving and moving assistive robot developed jointly with Bionit (CEO Kim Chan-bong).

 

A moving/transferring assistant robot is a device that safely lifts a resident of a nursing facility and moves it to a desired place such as a bathroom or toilet, and can prevent falls and prevent musculoskeletal disorders of caregivers.

 

The donated robot is a product jointly developed by Bionit Co., Ltd. and Gimhae Recreation Center. It supplements the existing product and redesigned it to a stable structure using lower body supports, so it can move and transport up to 120 kg.

 

Mun Seung-jun, manager of the nursing home, suggested an idea to develop a product that compensates for the shortcomings of the foreign transfer robot, and Bionit Co., Ltd. collaborated with the nursing home for about a year to localize the new technology.

 

Director Lee Kwang-ho said, "We will contribute to public service innovation by sharing field ideas that small and medium-sized enterprises can commercialize and providing a test bed for pilot application of new technology products."

 

Meanwhile, BIONIT Co., Ltd., which collaborated with Kim Bo-hoon Nursing Home, is a startup founded in 2019, developing in vitro diagnostic medical devices and exporting them to Central and Southeast Asia. Starting with the research and development of mobile and transfer assistance robots, the company plans to introduce advanced technology products for the elderly, such as a shower and bath system for bedridden patients.
