We will take this award as an opportunity to expand sales of the "switle BODY, a body-washing tool for nursing care," as well as actively promote the use of design in manufacturing, improve our brand image, and strive to be of service to all those involved in nursing care. Comments from the Good Design Award Jury This product was highly praised for its revolutionary solution to the problem of washing the body in nursing care, allowing the user to shower while lying in bed. With a shortage of caregivers and elderly care becoming social issues, the product is expected to significantly improve the quality of life not only in nursing facilities but also at home, as it allows caregivers to easily wash the body by themselves. Considering the use of multiple units in nursing facilities, the product can be stacked and the hose can be stored together, and the knowledge gained on the ground has been faithfully and carefully incorporated into the design. My Choice Comments from the Selection Jury Kawakami Noriko / Journalist While in charge of the home appliance unit, I have been thinking about today's "home appliances". From that perspective, one product that caught my attention was this product, which was being judged in another unit. It is an unprecedented product developed by applying gas-liquid separation technology. I commend the enthusiasm of the people involved, and I hope that such products will become widely used in society as "home appliances that support daily life".
