Patient lateral transfer refers to the technique used by healthcare professionals to move a patient from one horizontal surface to another. Hospitals typically involve transfers such as bed to stretcher, bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to chair, and wheelchair to toilet. In recent years, the healthcare industry has witnessed a surge in the need for patient lateral transfer solutions and equipment due to the rising number of elderly patients and the subsequent increase in chronic diseases. This demographic is typically more prone to various ailments that necessitate hospitalization, often requiring the need for patient transfers during their care regime. Furthermore, technological innovations have led to the creation of products that are safer and more ergonomic for healthcare workers and also offer greater comfort for patients. These devices have incorporated features such as inflatable air chambers, repositioning sheets, and sliding boards. However, concerns associated with mishandling and limited knowledge of transfer equipment among caregivers can subject patients to injury. Additionally, technical constraints and space optimization issues of using patient lateral transfer impede the widespread adoption of the equipment. However, major players have invested in novel product launches such as foldable stretchers, integration of robot-assisted technologies, and the use of IoT devices and sensors, which can help overcome technical barriers.
