German Bionic has introduced a new exosuit called Apogee+ that aims to support healthcare workers who face physical strain in their jobs. The suit is designed to assist with walking and lifting payloads up to 66 pounds, benefiting professionals who often spend long hours standing, walking, and bending over.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the strain on healthcare workers, making equipment like this crucial for attracting and retaining qualified and motivated personnel. The company plans to showcase the exosuit at an upcoming medical conference, offering flexible procurement options for interested facilities. While adopting such technology may be a gradual process, the suit’s design and features demonstrate its potential to help alleviate physical strain in healthcare settings.
