  Human lifting tools for greater independence
 
  Dear Sir or Madam,

It is often very difficult for people with mobility impairments to get up again independently after a fall. In addition, it is a great physical strain for caregivers and paramedics to help people who have fallen back up again. One solution for patients and helpers is the use of human lifting tools. These technical aids help users to get people up again and transport them to a chair or bed. You can find out more about this topic in our We asked... interview: IndeeLift: Human lifting tools for greater independence .

Wishing you a peaceful rest of the week

How we roll

Writing a book – a dream for many people. For Karina Sturm, it was a chance to accept her diagnosis. By giving advice, she wants to enable other people to do what she has managed to do herself: to become an active part of their own disease management and to live a self-determined life. How she rolls otherwise, she tells us on REHACARE.com.

Hearing loss cases are climbing globally — 1 in 5 adults are affected — along with a growing number of older workers who are more likely to experience hearing loss. A new study sheds light on how the severity of an employee's hearing loss can impact their experience at work — and the steps managers and employers can take to create a more inclusive environment for deaf or hard-of-hearing employees.

The remobilization of finger joints that have been damaged by illness or injury is an emerging market in the field of demand-driven patient care. The FingerKIt consortium, which brings together five Fraunhofer institutes, uses AI to develop personalized 3D-printed joint implants so that these delicate finger parts can be replaced when necessary.
