Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, it is a big burden on the caregiver to carry the care receiver on his back, and it is also moving in an unstable state for the care receiver, so the physical and mental burden is heavy on both of them.

[0004] In addition, during the movement accompanied by getting on and off the wheelchair, the care receiver needs to be placed on the caregiver for this purpose, and the physical and mental burden on both parties is still relatively large.
