Current repositioning methods require significant manual effort from healthcare workers.
The Problem
Repositioning is one of the most frequent and strenuous patient handling tasks. SafeShift aims to reduce caregiver muscle load and time on task while improving resident comfort.

Musculoskeletal injuries due to patient repositioning accounted for over 40% of the injuries in healthcare.
Our Solution
A bed sheet attached to motor-driven rollers on either side of the bed gently turns the patient onto their side, enabling sling placement and backside access with minimal manual effort from caregivers.
Raised Position
Lowered Position
Stowed Position
- Raised position: Allows healthcare workers to easily turn patients onto their side for sling placement and backside care.
- Lowered position: Provides gentle repositioning with reduced manual effort while maintaining patient comfort.
- Stowed position: Compactly stores under the bed without interfering with normal care activities.
