AWN-03, assist suit, ATOUN Inc., Nara City, Japan

Up to now, this powered wear for the waist has primarily been used at logistics and manufacturing sites. However, since the object of its utilization at nursing-care facilities would be people, ATOUN decided to carry out more extensive studies in advance of commencing such sales. A one-year verification of its safety and efficacy during use in a nursing-care setting was implemented with the cooperation of Social Welfare Foundation RYUSEI FUKUSHIKAI (located in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Kayoko Fujimoto, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees). As a result, ATOUN was successful in obtaining specific knowledge on the more effective utilization of wearable robots and made the decision to go ahead with the sales to nursing-care facilities.
