That would be so cool for ... okay, it might ruin the cool factor, but adapting it for bariatric patients in hospital (would need a horizontal slider arrangement to get them on and off the bed) would save so many nursing aides' backs and necks! I see those injuries every day. Trying to get patients on and off the Hoyer lifts still results in injury. This thing, if it had a way to slide the seat and back support horizontally and you could just roll people onto it, would be tres cool. And they could manoeuver around much more independently, which would be good for them and also save staff injuries.
