Abstract
This paper describes a new type of nursing system that can support bathing and transport for patients. The proposed component is a new type of lift for carrying a patient from the wheelchair to the bath, or to a normal bed. Generally, it is difficult for a caregiver to move a bedridden patient between the bed and the bathroom, and bathing patients who are lying in bed is difficult task for caregivers. Using the proposed lift, caregivers can more easily move or bathe patients.
