Umeå, April 19, 2026 – EduTechSmart announces that care sector customers have now successfully begun using their web-based course in movement and handling techniques. Developed with gamified learning, the course aims to strengthen staff competence and reduce workplace injuries.
EduTechSmart’s manual handling course focuses on safe transfers, with the goal of reducing musculoskeletal injuries—one of the most common causes of sick leave. Unlike VR and AR solutions, the training requires no extra equipment, making it easy to implement and accessible anywhere, at any time.
“What has been interesting about EduTechSmart is that we can now train and repeat manual handling techniques through game technology in a clearer and more engaging way, where the most important aspects are truly highlighted and become easy to apply in everyday work, ” says Annsofi Lundin. She continues: “What I’ve noticed is that it creates more consistency in how we work, and it makes it easier for staff to feel confident in these procedures. “
EduTechSmart’s digital training package is available to all healthcare providers looking to modernize their staff development through interactive learning.
