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.

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.
Learn how esense reduces physical strain


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