A wirelessly controlled wheelchair assembly and method of operating thereof is described. The wheelchair assembly comprises a wheel driving unit, a seat edge and footrest lifting unit, a back-rest lifting unit and a seat retracting unit. The wheelchair assembly further comprises a microcontroller electronically coupled with the wheel driving unit, the seat edge and footrest lifting unit, the back-rest lifting unit and the seat retracting unit. The microcontroller is configured to execute a plurality of commands to wirelessly control the operating of the wheelchair. The plurality of commands comprises commands for displacing the wheelchair from a source location to a destination location, lifting the user to slightly detach from the seat, opening the seat by retracting the one or more panels of the seat to enable accessibility of a toilet, move the user in the downward direction and reversing the above steps to restore the user in normal sitting posture.

A toilet includes a base, a cover, and a seat. The seat is rotatably coupled to the base, and the cover is rotatably coupled to the seat. The cover and the seat define an angled axis that is oriented upward and forward toward a front end of the base. The cover and the seat are each configured to rotate about the angled axis between a lowered position in which the cover and the seat are located adjacent the base and a stowed position in which the cover and the seat are oriented in an upward direction.

An apparatus is described herein that comprises a toilet seat assist system configured to be mounted to a toilet. The seat has a forward end portion and an aft end portion, an upper portion and a lower portion, a base having an upper portion connected to the lower portion of the seat, and a lower portion, at least one forward pivot mechanism connecting the seat to the base, at least one non-electric biasing energy storage mechanism connected to the upper portion of the base and the lower portion of the seat, the non-electric biasing energy storage mechanism being configured to move the aft end portion of the seat between a lowered position and a raised position. Corresponding methods also are disclosed.

A physical transfer device/board for people in therapy or in need of special care. It starts with a long plank that bridges between the start and finish point and then the plank has a movable, rotating disk with an optional back and leg rest. The disk slides from Point A start to Point B finish and is actuated by an electric motor powered with a battery or electricity from a plug-in receptacle. The whole device is portable with a foldable leg structure to securely and safely support the patient. The use and method of the device anticipates transfers such as a patient in a bed or wheel chair transfer to a tub, shower, toilet or other place for some personal or medical need.

A wheeled device for mechanical lifting, and in particular a device, system and method for transferring an object, such as a human patient, from one position and location to another position and/or location.

An apparatus for moving a patient from a reclining position to an upright sitting position, and methods of using same, are described. The apparatus includes an articulating patient support platform with first, second and third panels. The first panel includes opposite first and second ends and the second panel is movably attached to the first panel first end and is upwardly pivotable from a substantially co-planar relationship with the first panel to a substantially orthogonal relationship with the first panel. The third panel is secured to the second panel in spaced-apart, substantially co-planar relationship therewith. A patient is positioned on the patient support platform with the patient's upper body supported by the first and second panels and the patient's legs supported by the third panel. The second panel is caused to pivot upwardly, thereby moving the patient to a generally upright sitting position.

A lifting assembly includes a cart that includes a first section, a second section and a third section. Each of the first section, the second section and the third section are removably coupled together. The first section may be rolled along a support surface. A lifting unit is coupled to the cart and the lifting unit is positioned on the second section. The lifting unit selectively urges the third section upwardly with respect to the support surface. The third section may be gripped by a user thereby facilitating the third section to lift the user from a seated position.

Disclosed in the present invention is a carrying module detachably provided on a host module. The carrying module comprises two mounting bases, two guardrails, two bearing plates, and a backrest assembly. The two guardrails are respectively connected and locked to the mounting bases by means of a first coupling device. The two bearing plates are respectively rotatably mounted at the bottoms of the two guardrails by a second coupling device. When being lifted upwards, the bearing plates are close to the guardrails, and when being horizontally placed, the bearing plates can be used for bearing weight. The backrest assembly is detachably connected and locked to the two guardrails by means of a third coupling device. The host module comprises a host body and a displacement module, which can be combined with a plurality of nursing modules to forma nursing machine, and can also be added with a push module to form a displacement machine. With the aid of the nursing machine, the displacement machine, and other auxiliary tool systems using the carrying module, the disabled person and the like can perform rehabilitation such as movement, and sitting and station conversion.
