NEXTfest: Power Assist Suit

Designed for nurses in Japan, the Power Assist uses its compressed air lifting action to transfer patients from one bed to another. The suit, which calculates how much air to release based on sensors taped to the wearers muscles, has many other applications too, like the heavy-lifting tasks performed by soldiers, and construction workers.

    They could be kid’s-size cereal boxes on her back for all we know…nice idea but picking up a woman isn’t exactly hard to do without the 400pound suit on.
