Bed to wheelchair

Wheelchair to bath/shower/toilet

Different rooms along a continuous track

Key features and benefits include:

Enhanced Dignity and Independence: By enabling effortless movement, it increases the participant’s autonomy in daily routines and reduces reliance on direct physical assistance for transfers.
