The opportunity

Less complexity around every patient move.

Patient transportation often requires medical teams to coordinate the bed, essential equipment and multiple connections at the same time. Omni-board was conceived to reduce that handling complexity, help lower injury risk and significantly reduce the staff required during transportation.

Research and conceptualization

Bed and equipment as one coordinated system.

The concept brings frequently used equipment into a compatible headboard architecture. Research and early development focused on clinical tasks, reach, visibility and the sequence of actions required before, during and after patient transport.

Industrial design and development

An integrated layout for more efficient care.

Equipment placement was developed as a coherent working interface rather than a collection of separate attachments. The resulting configuration keeps essential functions organized, visible and accessible while presenting a calm, unified form.

Patient and staff experience

Clean, compatible and simple to maintain.

Seamless surfaces support straightforward cleaning and disinfection. Adjustable positions and a configurable equipment layout help the system adapt to different care moments while improving interaction for patients and medical teams.
