A patient lift is a medical device. Sometimes called a patient lift, or a patient lift is a mechanized technical aid. The patient lift is used to transfer people who are unable to do so themselves. It is used in healthcare facilities by nursing staff or caregivers. The most common transfer is that of transporting the patient from the bed to the chair and vice versa. This type of device is also often associated with weight measurement. In this case, a weighing module (also called a scale) is added. Nowadays, this type of device lifts the resident using electrical energy. Electrical energy is mainly provided by rechargeable batteries. The use of this type of device generally involves the use of an interface called a harness (or "strap", or "hammock", or even "canvas" (depending on the culture and the shape)).
