Exia Explained | #6 – Healthcare Applications

Healthcare is one of the most physically demanding professions.

From lifting and transferring patients to long periods in bent-over postures, the strain on nurses and caregivers is immense.

At the same time, healthcare systems worldwide are facing a demographic shift that is reshaping the future of care. As populations age, the number of people in need of care is rising — while the number of skilled caregivers continues to decline. In countries like Germany, nearly 40% of today’s nursing professionals will retire by 2030.

The baby boomer generation will not only leave the workforce but will themselves become part of the growing group of people requiring medical and long-term care — amplifying the already severe imbalance between care demand and available staff.

Exia provides intelligent support for daily care tasks, including:

✴️  Lifting and moving patients safely

✴️  Transfers between beds, chairs, and examination tables

✴️  Repositioning immobile patients

✴️  Reducing fatigue during prolonged postures and long shifts

Beyond bedside care, Exia also supports surgical staff and hospital logistics teams — helping protect the health and energy of those who care for others.

By combining strength with intelligence, Exia enables care professionals to focus more on people and less on the physical strain of the job.

Because the future of care depends not only on compassion — but on the technologies that keep caregivers healthy, supported, and in the profession.
