No obligation. Together we'll assess where Exia can support staff and patients in your care facility.
02 / Problem
When physical strain becomes a care risk
In care, lifting, carrying and repositioning are part of daily life. That's exactly where absences, frustration and the costly loss of qualified staff arise.
Care robots without acceptance
Fully automated solutions go down badly with care staff and patients — they're rigid and impersonal.
Skills shortage
Physically demanding care jobs are hard to fill — and healthy staff stay in the profession longer.
Demographic change
More elderly, heavier and less mobile patients meet a workforce that is itself ageing.
This is exactly where Exia comes in: active support for physically demanding tasks — without replacing the human contact that defines care.
“For me that's a real reduction in workload, especially with heavy lifting. My posture is more upright too, whether walking or standing. You feel it positively in your back at the end of the day — and I come home from work more relaxed.Nikolai Nolf · Registered Nurse · RoMed-Kliniken
● The difference
Human social intelligence — combined with robotic power
Current care research shows: active exoskeletons like Exia relieve care staff reliably and flexibly. Conventional patient lifts often go unused — too cumbersome, too time-consuming. Fully automated care robots fail on acceptance and adaptability. Exia, by contrast, combines human empathy, adaptability and intelligence with robotic added power — developed on the basis of the latest findings from Charité care research.

AI adaptation
Exia supports caregivers with daily tasks
Lifting & moving patients
Active power support when lifting — relieves the lower back and protects against repeated overload.
Bed ↔ wheelchair
Transfer between bed, wheelchair, toilet or chair — safely and with significantly less physical strain.
Medical examinations
Holding, positioning and supporting during examinations — even over long periods without fatigue.
Washing & dressing
More safety when sitting patients up and holding them — even with less mobile or unconscious patients.
Repositioning immobile patients
Several times per shift without back injury: pressure-ulcer prevention, repositioning, mobilisation on the ward.
Static hold in awkward postures
Prolonged work in a bent posture — during care, dressing changes, punctures — no longer strains the lower back.
More safety and performance — in three modes
Lifting & lowering
Adds extra power and supports posture — reduces injuries and boosts productivity.
Static hold
Prolonged work in a bent posture no longer strains the lower back.
Walking support
Reduces fatigue with extra energy on every step.
Specially developed for hospitals, elderly care and rehab
Closed housing
A unique seamless structure — no risk of pinching or crushing for patients, unlike exoskeletons with exposed mechanics.
Patient-friendly design
An appealing design so patients feel at ease — Exia doesn't look like an industrial device at the bedside.
Integrated grab handles for patients
Secure, ergonomic handles right on the device — patients can actively support themselves.
Easy to disinfect
Smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces prevent bacterial build-up — perfect for clinical hygiene standards.
Clear controls
Hassle-free daily start, clear operating logic — care staff are productive within minutes.
Smarter, lighter, stronger
The world's first exoskeleton with real AI power. Up to 38 kg of intuitive lift support — adapting in real time to person and task.
● Research partner
Developed with Charité care research
German Bionic is a partner to major healthcare institutions — including the AG Pflegeforschung of the Geriatrics Research Group at Charité — Universitätsmedizin Berlin. There, German Bionic exoskeletons have been a standard part of everyday clinical work for years. Insights from billions of real movement data points feed into real-time adaptation of the support — for every caregiver and every task.

“With the exoskeleton we have a tool that keeps the people who work in the hospital healthy — the younger ones too. It lets them handle tasks on their own that previously took two or three people.

08 / FAQ
Common questions before the use-case check
For physically demanding tasks like lifting, carrying, walking, loading and unloading, order picking and working in a bent posture. Exia supports several types of movement — not just one special case.
No. Exia can be used in logistics, intralogistics, production, construction, baggage handling and care. We'll work out together which tasks in your operation are suitable in the use-case check.
In the use-case check you receive, within 1–2 weeks, an expert assessment of which tasks and workplaces are best suited — before anything is installed on site.
Not necessarily. Exia integrates into existing processes — employees keep their familiar workflows. We'll clarify which adjustments make sense in your specific case during the use-case conversation.
What matters is the right areas of use, clear communication, wearing comfort and a gradual roll-out. We support the roll-out together with the works council and shift leadership.
Updates arrive over the air — employees benefit continuously from improvements without devices being taken out of operation. Hardware service follows a defined SLA.
