Existing technologies used for transfers such as bed to bed or bed to chair require significant physical labour by clinical staff to move the patient into and out of the lift systems. The result is frequent and significant injuries to the staff and time off work. The current systems are also undignified for the patient being transferred. Existing lift technology can also cause injury to the patient because of the forces applied during the transfer especially for patients with delicate skin which can commonly occur through natural aging. Able Innovations has been collaborating with Carleton University to develop a \u201cskin\u201d force sensor that can measure the normal and shear forces applied by lift systems. This work has results in a lab bench sensor design and initial evaluation results showing it potential. In this project, the sensor will be evaluated in a research facility in a hospital to test existing lift systems and the novel Able Innovation systems. The goal of the work is to evaluate the performance of the sensor within the lift application and then to specifically assess the forces applied by existing lifts and the Able Innovation lift with a goal to ensure that the Able Innovations system operates within a safe range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PI:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sam3\/people\/dr-bruce-wallace\/\">Bruce Wallace<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Students:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sam3\/people\/steven-cramp\/\">Steven Cramp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Funding:<\/strong>&nbsp;AGE-WELL SIP and MITACS Accelerate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"publications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white cu-section--cards ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\" data-attributes=\"&#x7B;&quot;numberOfPosts&quot;&#x3A;12,&quot;showImages&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;moreButton&quot;&#x3A;&quot;loadmore&quot;,&quot;blockType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cards&quot;,&quot;contentType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;post&quot;,&quot;currentPage&quot;&#x3A;1,&quot;blockBackground&quot;&#x3A;&quot;white&quot;,&quot;numberOfColumns&quot;&#x3A;3,&quot;showDates&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showTimeToRead&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showExcerpts&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showFilter&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;taxName&quot;&#x3A;&quot;category&quot;,&quot;categories&quot;&#x3A;&quot;53&quot;,&quot;tags&quot;&#x3A;&quot;&quot;&#x7D;\" data-page=\"2\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n                \n        <div class=\"cu-loading hidden text-center mx-auto h-6 w-6 animate-spin rounded-full border-4 border-solid border-current border-r-transparent align-[-0.125em] motion-reduce:animate-[spin_1.5s_linear_infinite]\" role=\"status\">\n    <span class=\"!absolute !-m-px !h-px !w-px !overflow-hidden !whitespace-nowrap !border-0 !p-0 ![clip:rect(0,0,0,0)]\">\n        Loading&#8230;\n    <\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n                                        \n        <p class=\"cu-no-posts hidden\">\n            No\n            category\n\n            posts are available.\n        <\/p>\n\n                <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n                        \n                    \n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n    \n    \n        <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 first:mt-6\">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-row w-full gap-1\">\n                        <time datetime=\"2024-05-21T20:00:00-04:00\" class=\"block italic text-sm text-cu-black-600\">\n        May 22, 2024\n    <\/time>\n\n                    <\/div>        \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        P.

This is a problem because of nursing and other staff shortages. Also, the physical effort involved in patient transfers can lead to worker injuries. Some devices such as transfer boards and lifts can help healthcare staff in repositioning or transferring patients. The proposed research project will assess how these existing devices and a novel technology being introduced by Able Innovations compare with regards to the manpower and time needed to use them and their ability to prevent injuries as well as associated costs. This will be achieved by: 1) direct observation of healthcare workers using these devices, 2) an economic analysis. Because of the aging of the population and healthcare personnel shortages, our project could lead to a more safe and efficient method to transfer patients in the hospital and a reduction of associated costs to the Canadian healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PI:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sam3\/people\/dr-martin-bilodeau\/\">Martin Bilodeau<\/a>, Paula Doering<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Students:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sam3\/people\/amos-buh\/\">Amos Buh<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Funding:<\/strong> AGE-WELL SIP, OBIO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"publications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white cu-section--cards ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\" data-attributes=\"&#x7B;&quot;showImages&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;moreButton&quot;&#x3A;&quot;loadmore&quot;,&quot;blockType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cards&quot;,&quot;contentType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;post&quot;,&quot;currentPage&quot;&#x3A;1,&quot;blockBackground&quot;&#x3A;&quot;white&quot;,&quot;numberOfColumns&quot;&#x3A;3,&quot;numberOfPosts&quot;&#x3A;6,&quot;showDates&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showTimeToRead&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showExcerpts&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showFilter&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;taxName&quot;&#x3A;&quot;category&quot;,&quot;categories&quot;&#x3A;&quot;54&quot;,&quot;tags&quot;&#x3A;&quot;&quot;&#x7D;\" data-page=\"2\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n                \n        <div class=\"cu-loading hidden text-center mx-auto h-6 w-6 animate-spin rounded-full border-4 border-solid border-current border-r-transparent align-[-0.125em] motion-reduce:animate-[spin_1.5s_linear_infinite]\" role=\"status\">\n    <span class=\"!absolute !-m-px !h-px !w-px !overflow-hidden !whitespace-nowrap !border-0 !p-0 ![clip:rect(0,0,0,0)]\">\n        Loading&#8230;\n    <\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n                                        \n        <p class=\"cu-no-posts hidden\">\n            No\n            category\n\n            posts are available.\n        <\/p>\n\n                <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n                        \n                    \n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n    \n    \n        <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 first:mt-6\">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-row w-full gap-1\">\n                        <time datetime=\"2022-10-12T20:00:00-04:00\" class=\"block italic text-sm text-cu-black-600\">\n        October 13, 2022\n    <\/time>\n\n                    <\/div>        \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        M.

This project will focus on a movement assistance system to staff to be able to quickly and efficiently move the ALTA Platform\u2122 system within the hospital between rooms or to position it precisely for a transfer. The project will focus exploration of the motion assistance system design including key questions such as how a staff member controls the system, the need for multiple modes of operation (transport, positioning), adaptive\/dynamic assistance level, steering and other directional control and braking assist. A movement system is required as the ALTA Platform\u2122 platform will be significantly heavier than the traditional hospital gurney and it has the potential to be used in novel applications such as repositioning of patients including bariatric patients in bed which will require precision movements. A key goal of the project will be for the movement assist system to be intuitive for staff to use and understand (minimal training) while also being safe for staff and patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PI:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sam3\/people\/dr-bruce-wallace\/\">Bruce Wallace<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Students:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sam3\/people\/bahareh-chimehi\/\">Bahareh Chimehi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Funding:<\/strong> OCI VIP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"publications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white cu-section--cards ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\" data-attributes=\"&#x7B;&quot;showImages&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;moreButton&quot;&#x3A;&quot;loadmore&quot;,&quot;blockType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cards&quot;,&quot;contentType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;post&quot;,&quot;currentPage&quot;&#x3A;1,&quot;blockBackground&quot;&#x3A;&quot;white&quot;,&quot;numberOfColumns&quot;&#x3A;3,&quot;numberOfPosts&quot;&#x3A;6,&quot;showDates&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showTimeToRead&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showExcerpts&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showFilter&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;taxName&quot;&#x3A;&quot;category&quot;,&quot;categories&quot;&#x3A;&quot;55&quot;,&quot;tags&quot;&#x3A;&quot;&quot;&#x7D;\" data-page=\"2\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n                \n        <div class=\"cu-loading hidden text-center mx-auto h-6 w-6 animate-spin rounded-full border-4 border-solid border-current border-r-transparent align-[-0.125em] motion-reduce:animate-[spin_1.5s_linear_infinite]\" role=\"status\">\n    <span class=\"!absolute !-m-px !h-px !w-px !overflow-hidden !whitespace-nowrap !border-0 !p-0 ![clip:rect(0,0,0,0)]\">\n        Loading&#8230;\n    <\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n                                        \n        <p class=\"cu-no-posts hidden\">\n            No\n            category\n\n            posts are available.\n        <\/p>\n\n                <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n                        \n                    \n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n    \n    \n        <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 first:mt-6\">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-row w-full gap-1\">\n                        <time datetime=\"2023-10-13T20:00:00-04:00\" class=\"block italic text-sm text-cu-black-600\">\n        October 14, 2023\n    <\/time>\n\n                    <\/div>        \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        B.
