Abstract
A smart sling for patient transfer assistance includes a first driving unit, a second driving unit, a wire part and a sling unit. The first driving unit is configured to provide a rotational driving force. The second driving unit is spaced apart from the first driving unit by a predetermined distance. The wire part extends between the first driving unit and the second driving unit. The sling unit is configured to unfold toward the second driving unit from a folded state into the first driving unit along the wire part, to position a patient on the sling unit.
