Continue readingMany caregivers have to carry out physically demanding work on a daily basis. Lifting and moving patients is one of the activities that requires a lot of physical effort from the caregiver. Even when using a patient hoist. Taking sharp corners, manoeuvring in tight spaces and, above all, getting the hoist started can create major strain and cause physical complaints. This not only reduces work pleasure, but can also eventually lead to sick leave and long-term absence. The increasing demand for care and the burden and complexity of care are making this even more challenging. That's why reducing physical strain is more important than ever!
For this reason, touch&move hoists are equipped with innovative and intuitive driving support as standard. This means it only takes minimal force for the caregiver to move and position the hoist. This makes work much easier, lighter and more pleasant!
The use of touch&move hoists fits perfectly within a policy to reduce physical strain.
The added value that you experience immediately; not only in the quality of the product but also in our guidance and support!
Direct contact with patient possible thanks to operation from the side
JOYinCARE is all about contributing to a healthy, sustainable and affordable healthcare. Our mission is tackling physical strain at its roots to make patient handling lighter, easier and more enjoyable!
With just two fingers, the hoist can be moved in the right direction.
To minimise physical strain when making transfers, all active and passive hoists from JOYinCARE are fitted with touch&move driving support as standard. This is a unique, intuitive electrically powered drive that makes working with a hoist easier and more pleasant.

ViewDue to an increase in the burden of care, physical strain also increases significantly. Despite working with a hoist, making a transfer is regularly felt to be too strenuous. And even so strenuous that the caregiver develops physical complaints.
The touch&move driving support is a smart solution for tackling physical stress and strain, reducing the risk of physical complaints. Thanks to the innovative electric drive, only minimal force is required to move the hoist. Practical tests have shown that operating the touch&move hoist is – compared to a manual hoist – straightforward, needing only a light touch, and that the hoist gets into position more easily. That saves time during transfers. With touch&move, even transfers on sub-optimum surfaces, such as carpets, non-slip floors or tiles are easier, as is moving a heavier patient. Less strength is needed to use the hoist and it can be operated by a single caregiver, making the work much easier and less strenuous!
touch&move is a unique and highly intuitive electric drive that makes working with a hoist a much less strenuous, more pleasant experience. The push handle of a hoist with touch&move driving support is fitted with sensors. These measure the force and direction of pushing against the push handle. A gentle push against the push handle is enough to set the additional wheel under the hoist in motion. This wheel amplifies the force exerted forwards, backwards or sideways. To operate the hoist, it is therefor not necessary for the caregiver to stand behind the hoist. The transfer can also be performed from the side of the hoist. This allows the caregiver to have more contact with the patient during the transfer. Together with the transfer being calmer and smoother, touch&move is thus a comfortable solution for both caregiver and patient!
