Shower bed-chair
Hello!
I work as a caregiver for elderly people. During my work, I came up with the idea to create a hybrid of a shower trolley and a shower chair. The trolleys we use are quite large in size, making it very difficult to use them in a ward, and in most cases, it is impossible. In these cases, two types of shower chairs are used: a regular one and one with a tilt function. To move from the bed to the chair, a lift with a special sheet is used. The process of moving is lengthy, associated with a risk of falls, and unpleasant due to the design features of the lifting sheet.
If a bed-chair for showering is used, the transfer will be reduced to "dragging" the person from a regular bed onto the bed-chair using a hygiene sheet (just like when using a regular trolley). Then, thanks to the transforming function of the bed into a chair, it will be possible to take the person to the bathroom and, if necessary, fold the chair back. The back and leg sections should have adjustable tilt, and the pelvis section should have a mechanical adjustment to fix the pelvis in a sitting position. The head section should also be height-adjustable (for example, using a telescopic adjustment system). Also, safety features such as fold-down handrails and a lifting footrest are needed. The height of the device should be adjustable via a mechanical lifting system (for example, a screw system like a car jack), and wheels with locking mechanisms are required.

Similar solutions are used in manufacturing salon chairs or portable massage/dental care chairs in mobile dental clinics. There are similar solutions but with slightly different functions. I am attaching relevant images. I will also include a sketch of the bed-chair itself, generated by AI.

29 5 days287 USDHello, and thank you for sharing this thoughtful and meaningful project. I'm a mechatronics engineer specializing in 3D modeling and technical design, including assistive and medical devices.
I'm interested in developing a hybrid shower wheelchair/shower bed with adjustable sections, as you described. Before starting the design, I’d like to clarify a few important points to ensure the solution is functional, safe, and comfortable:
Dimensions:
What is the maximum width allowed for passing through doors and maneuvering in rooms?
What is the minimum and maximum seat height, both in the "bed" and "chair" positions?
Load capacity:
What is the maximum user weight the device should support?
…
Once I have this information, I’ll provide a conceptual drawing and, if needed, a 3D model with revision options. I would be glad to collaborate on bringing your idea to life!
