Charles Baur at EPFL’s Instant-Lab in Neuchâtel, have developed a simple system that allows just three people to turn a patient with little effort. Dominique Truchot-Cardot, the doctor who heads SILAB, the innovation unit at the La Source simulated hospital. A mechanical system developed at EPFL’s Instant-Lab halves the number of hospital staff needed to turn coma patients and makes the task less physically demanding.
