獨居高齡者位移輔具輪椅

隨著高齡人口逐年增加，越來越多銀髮族選擇在熟悉的居家環境中獨立生活。在日常行為中，「從床面轉移至輪椅」仍是跌倒風險最高、且最需要他人協助的動作之一，對照顧者是一件吃力的事，對獨居長者而言更是一項重大的生活困難。

除了身體機能退化所帶來的不便，長期仰賴他人協助也容易使長者產生依賴感與心理壓力，進而影響自尊與生活意願，降低其生活品質與自主性。
本設計以「自主、安全」為核心價值，透過簡單且直覺的機構設計，協助長者在無需他人協助的情況下，安全完成床與輪椅之間的轉移動作。藉此降低跌倒風險與心理負擔，並回應對於銀髮族在家中獨立生活與尊嚴維持的實際需求。
椅背下降可讓使用者能在最小身體負擔的情況下輔助到床且躺下的動作
椅背上升可讓使用者完成離床動作，同時降低跌倒風險。

As the global population ages, more older adults are choosing to live independently in the familiarity of their own homes. However, transferring from bed to wheelchair remains one of the most high-risk daily activities, often requiring assistance and posing a significant risk of falls. This task is physically demanding for caregivers and particularly challenging for elderly individuals living alone.

In addition to physical decline, long-term dependence on others can lead to psychological stress, reduced self-esteem, and a diminished sense of autonomy, ultimately affecting overall quality of life.

This design is built upon the core values of **independence and safety**. Through a simple and intuitive mechanical system, it enables elderly users to safely transfer between the bed and wheelchair without external assistance. By reducing both fall risk and psychological burden, the design supports independent living while preserving dignity, addressing the real needs of an aging society.
