Cyberdyne: Large contract with Hampshire Parliament in the UK: 500 million yen for HAL rental

-Reason for receiving a large order from the UK-

Hampshire Parliament:

The Hampshire Parliament has placed a large long-term contract with Cyberdyne.

At a nursing care facility in Hampshire, England
127 HAL waist types in total,
It will be delivered under a rental contract for 5 years.

Cyberdyne:

We received an order for a body-worn rehabilitation suit “HAL waist type” for a contract amount of 500 million yen.

This is the first time that the HAL waist type has been delivered overseas for long-term care.

Long-term care burden and shortage of caregivers:

In the UK, as in Japan, the burden of long-term care and the shortage of long-term care workers are becoming more serious year by year.

The company plans to sell this contract to other European countries as a model case.

The UK is expected to have a shortage of 6000 caregivers by 2025.

Long-term care facility burden:

Japan
In Japan, it is common for one helper to assist one elderly person.

Europe
However, in Europe, two or more helpers are obligatory to prevent the burden of back pain.

This is also a factor leading to a shortage of caregivers.

With HAL, the burden on two people can be reduced to one, which is a financial advantage.

Hampshire Long-Term Care Facility:

It has been verified for practical use since 2018 at a nursing care facility in Hampshire.

The effect of reducing the burden on the caregiver was recognized, which led to orders for the HAL waist type.
