Objectives
Narrative objectives1
The purpose of this study is to verify whether digital transformation (Dx), such as (1) power-assistive suits, (2) robotic walkers, and (3) bed release sensors, monitoring cameras, and nurse call interlocking services, improves the nursing environment by reducing the burden and fatigue of caregivers and improving the level of well-being of caregivers and the satisfaction of care recipients.

Interventions/Control_1
The power-assistive suit will be used or not used for 4 weeks for transfer assistance tasks within the workday, followed by a 2-week pause, and then 4 weeks of work with or without the power-assistive suit.
Interventions/Control_2
We will survey 30 care recipients who are able to respond to a questionnaire survey, by means of questionnaires (back pain, leg pain, average fatigue level, and happiness level), to determine their situation and satisfaction level in care depending on whether the caregiver uses a power-assisted suit or not.
Interventions/Control_3
A crossover study will be conducted with two groups: a group that will practice walking with the robotic walker for 20-40 minutes per day for 4 weeks, then discontinue walking practice for 2 weeks, and then practice walking with the regular walker for 20-40 minutes per day for 4 weeks and evaluate the results weekly, and a group that will practice walking with the regular walker for 20-40 minutes per day for 4 weeks, then discontinue walking practice for 2 weeks , and then practice walking with the robotic walker for 20-40 minutes per day for 4 weeks and evaluate the results weekly.
Interventions/Control_4
The use of the bed release sensor will be examined in a crossover study in which one group will be evaluated weekly for 1 week of use of the bed release sensor, then 1 week of non-use of the bed release sensor, and then 1 week of non-use of the bed release sensor.
The use of the bed release sensor will be examined in a crossover study in which one group will be evaluated weekly during one week of use of the bed release sensor and the other group will be evaluated weekly during one week of non-use of the bed release sensor.
