Givas Vega e-drive hospital bed: safer, smarter patient transport

Givas Vega e-drive hospital bed: smart technology to reduce physical strain

When patient care meets smart technology: the Givas Vega e-drive hospital bed brings effortless movement and improved safety to hospitals across Italy, thanks to the esense electric drive wheel system.

Challenge: reducing physical strain in patient transport

In Italian hospitals, moving patients on hospital beds and trolleys is part of everyday care, but also a major cause of strain and injury among healthcare professionals. With an ageing population and increasing patient weights, manoeuvring traditional hospital beds can become increasingly physically demanding.

To address this, Givas embraced the Healthy Working approach, focusing on ergonomics and staff wellbeing in all hospital mobility solutions.

Solution: Givas Vega e-drive hospital bed with esense electric drive wheel

To reduce physical strain and enhance safety, Givas developed the Vega e-drive, featuring the esense electric drive wheel system. This system adds an esense electric 5th wheel, controlled by force sensors integrated into the bed’s push handles. These sensors detect the healthcare professional’s natural movement and translate it into smooth, intuitive electric assistance.

  • Easy forward, reverse and lateral movement
  • Minimal effort, even on ramps or uneven floors
  • Intelligent traction control for uphill support
  • Automatic braking assistance for controlled downhill movement

The result: precise handling, effortless movement and enhanced safety with the esense 360 drive wheel.
