How Can Technology Aid in Reducing Caregiver Injuries?
Technology can play a significant role in reducing caregiver injuries. The use of electronic health records (EHRs) can reduce repetitive strain injuries associated with manual charting. Robotics and automated systems can assist in lifting and transferring patients, thereby reducing the risk of back injuries. Wearable devices that monitor physical strain can provide real-time feedback, helping caregivers adjust their activities to prevent injury.
