The Medical Japan Expo, as one of the countries with the highest degree of aging in the world, Japan's exhibition focuses on "smart care and aging friendly solutions", attracting over 1000 medical technology companies from around the world to participate. CareAge unveiled its two core products, Electric Patient Lift and Stand Up Assist Transfer Aid, which attracted widespread attention from exhibitors and industry experts.
The aging dilemma in Japan: the dual challenges of surging nursing demand and misallocation of resources
According to data from the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, as of 2025, the proportion of people aged 65 and above in Japan has reached 31.5%, and one in every four Japanese people needs long-term care. There is a shortage of over 300000 nursing staff, and labor costs account for more than 65% of the operating costs of elderly care institutions. More seriously, traditional nursing equipment is complex to operate and inefficient, resulting in nursing staff working more than 12 hours a day and a high rate of occupational burnout.
In this context, CareAge's Electric Patient Lift and Stand Up Assist Transfer Aid, with their "intelligent, lightweight, and user-friendly" designs, directly address the three major pain points of the Japanese nursing market: labor shortage, low efficiency, and patient safety risks.
Electric Patient Lift: Redefining the 'Safety and Efficiency' of Patient Mobility
The 71920 Electric Patient Lift exhibited at CareAge can be regarded as the "star product" of the exhibition. The device adopts an electric lifting system with a maximum load capacity of 204 kilograms, which can adapt to the full scene relocation needs from bed rest to wheelchair, and from wheelchair to bathroom.
Mr. Yamada, the procurement manager of a chain of elderly care institutions in Japan, commented: "Our nursing staff have an average age of over 55 years old, and traditional equipment operation is difficult. CareAge's Electric Patient Lift allows 60 year old nurses to easily complete the transfer, which is crucial for alleviating the manpower crisis. ”
Stand Up Assist Transfer Aid: A Leap from Passive Care to Active Rehabilitation
CareAge's Stand Up Assist Transfer Aid provides an innovative solution to address the issue of muscle weakness caused by prolonged sitting among elderly people in Japan. This device helps patients smoothly transition from a sitting position to a standing position through adjustable armrests and elastic support straps.
Ms. Sato, a physical therapist at a rehabilitation hospital in Tokyo, pointed out that "Japanese patients generally resist being cared for and prefer 'active rehabilitation'. CareAge's Stand Up Assist Transfer Aid empowers patients through technology, which is highly compatible with Japan's' self-reliance support 'nursing policy. ”
