The rotating RotoBed® is a bed for the infirm and the elderly that makes it easier to change position, offering mobility and less pain for both users and caregivers.

The Jury says
This is an example of a new and growing market for welfare technological senior care. It is a customisable bed that empowers the user to get out of bed safely on their own or with minimal help. It simultaneously limits the need for lifting by caretakers. This is a very personal approach to a bed, where the user can choose his or her own materials for the construction of the bed. Overall, it demonstrates how design can provide great benefits and change the market in the care sector.
