The Stryker Medical BackSmart app is an educational resource that provides information about ergonomics and safe patient handling in the healthcare environment. The app is made up of four sections. "The Truth About Back Injuries" offers statistics about key areas like the bariatric population and the nursing shortage. "Risk Factors" discusses the cumulative trauma, citing the McGill Study. "Safe Practices" provides recommendations from HumanTech, an ergonomics consultant, for completing care-related movements in a safer and easier way. Lastly, the "Equipment" section provides innovative solutions that can help reduce the risk of caregiver injuries.
