Technology to assist with mobility and transfers are among the most important tools that can be used to promote wellness, independence, community participation, and quality of life. For Veterans with disabilities (VwD) involving both the upper and lower extremities, there are few systems that provide practical and coordinated assistance with mobility and transfer tasks. We are leading an ongoing nationwide survey of individuals with disabilities (including Veterans) who use assistive technology and a survey of clinical providers of mobility technology. To date, 759 AT users and 144 providers have completed the survey. The clear majority of Veterans (n=346, 88.3%) had obtained their mobility device through the VA. Over 80% (n=633, 83.4%) of mobility device users ranked new powered transfer devices as “important” or “the most important” futuristic invention. Of the clinical providers over 90% (n=135, 93.8%) ranked new powered transfer devices as “important” or “the most important” futuristic invention. This study proposes to build upon the AgileLife product for manual wheelchairs. We have created an initial prototype Powered Personal Transfer System (PPTS) that demonstrates the potential to allow VwD to transfer with minimal or no assistance from a caregiver. Design Objective 1: Design and implement transfer sequence automation system hardware and software. Design Objective 2: Further Identify Stakeholder Needs and Refine Design Specifications. Design Objective 3: Evaluate and upgrade the initial prototype PPTS integrated with custom seating system on a commercially available Group-2 EPW to determine compliance with applicable standards for safety and efficacy. Design Objective 4: Assess the initial prototype PPTS with rehabilitation professionals and caregivers to gather data on efficacy and usability while transferring a rescue dummy. Design Objective 5: Assess the initial prototype PPTS with VwD and their caregivers to gather data on efficacy and usability. Our general approach will be to conduct research to refine, advance, and test a PPTS with EPW and compatible seating system to interface with the transfer bed based on study data gathered through this project. A quality function deployment process22 will be used to organize and structure user requirements and aid in the management of trade-offs that are anticipated based on the technical requirements. Potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success anticipated to achieve the aims will be discussed with VwD and their clinicians/caregivers. The results of the rehabilitation professional evaluation with the PPTS and the ISO testing will provide data for the revised design criteria and the basis for further design work. There are always unforeseen circumstances when designing a device like the PPTS. The greatest barriers that we perceive are: cost of the device, distribution and market penetration, data collection and sharing within VA environment, reliance on the AgileLife bed technology. Our target is for the PPTS to ultimately be competitive in price with the sum of the cost of a hospital bed, commode chair, Group-2 EPW, and powered lift device; as these are the devices incorporated into the PPTS.

协助移动性和转移的技术是最重要的工具之一 可用于促进健康，独立性，社区参与和质量 生活。对于残疾退伍军人（VWD），涉及上肢和下肢， 很少有系统能够提供实用和协调的协助，并 转移任务。我们正在进行一项全国性的残疾人调查 （包括退伍军人）使用辅助技术和对移动性临床提供者的调查 技术。迄今为止，用户和144个提供商的759个已经完成了调查。清晰 大多数退伍军人（n = 346，88.3％）通过VA获得了其移动设备。超过 80％（n = 633，83.4％）的移动设备用户将新的动力传输设备排名为 “重要”或“最重要的”未来派事故。超过90％的临床提供商 （n = 135，93.8％）将新的动力传输设备排名为“重要”或“最重要” 未来派事故。这项研究的提案是建立在AgileLife产品的手册上的建议 轮椅。我们已经创建了一个原型的最初供电的个人转移系统（PPTS） 这表明有可能允许VWD以最小或没有帮助的方式转移 照料者。 设计目标1：设计和实施传输序列自动化系统硬件和 软件。 设计目标2：进一步确定利益相关者的需求并完善设计规范。 设计目标3：评估和升级与自定义集成的初始原型PPT 在市售的组2 epw上的座位系统，以确定符合 适用的安全和效率标准。 设计目标4：与康复专业人员和 照顾者在转移救援假人的同时收集有关效率和可用性的数据。 设计目标5：用VWD及其护理人员评估初始原型PPT 收集有关效率和可用性的数据。 我们的一般方法是进行研究以完善，进步和测试PPTS 基于研究 通过这个项目收集的数据。质量功能部署过程22将用于 组织和结构用户要求，并协助管理权衡 根据技术要求进行预期。潜在问题，替代策略以及 预计实现目标的成功基准将与 VWD及其临床医生/护理人员。康复专业评估的结果 使用PPT和ISO测试将为修订的设计标准提供数据和 进一步设计工作的基础。设计一个时总是有不可预见的情况 像PPT这样的设备。我们认为的最大障碍是：设备成本， 分销和市场渗透，数据收集和共享在VA环境中，退休 在Agilelife床技术上。我们的目标是使PPT最终具有价格竞争力 凭借医院床的费用，马桶椅，第2组EPW和电源的总和 提升装置；因为这些是纳入PPT的设备。
