Sit and Shower Project

Difficulties in bathing have been linked with increased safety concerns, lower quality of life, higher care costs, further disability and loss of autonomy. Implementing automated showering systems could (1) reduce the need for direct assistance from carers, improve workforce efficiency and (2) promote the dignity, privacy, and independence of older people, empowering them to maintain their personal hygiene. Automated technology has the potential to shift a carers’ main workload from being of a physical nature (doing the ‘dirty job’) to freeing time to do higher quality care tasks while the elder person is showering with the automated technology.However – the end-users of the technology (carers and older people themselves) - must see value in the process. In this project, we assess the impact of automated technology on the showering experience in residential aged care – thanks to support from Aged Care Research and Industry Innovation (ARIIA), Polish technology company Automation for Humanity is collaborating with QUT Design Lab researchers to trial their “Sit & Shower” showering device in a Southern Cross Care (NSW) aged care home in Sydney.
