In addition to partnering with global distributors, VOCIC has also welcomed individual users and prioritized their feedback and insights to improve the user experience.
Z55 Rollator
Mary, an elderly user who has difficulty walking, was impressed with our Z55 rollator at the show. She visited our stand to try the Z55 first hand and the attentive VOCIC team adjusted the rollator to her height and carefully demonstrated how to use it. Mary maneuvered smoothly around the showroom, capturing the attention of visitors.
"I have a spinal condition and my legs hurt if I walk for too long. This rollator meets all my needs - from the comfortable seat and adjustable height to the sturdy frame. I have to commend the team at VOCIC for their exceptional service. They patiently showed me how to use it and were with me every step of the way. If I were to buy a rollator, I would choose a company like VOCIC, one with conscientious, dedicated service," said Mary.
AX12 Electric Toilet Seat Raiser
The AX12 Electric Toilet Seat Raiser, a flagship product that VOCIC has carefully developed over the years, proved to be one of the most eagerly awaited models at the German show. Throughout the event, a steady stream of users and dealers eagerly visited our booth to test and learn about this innovative product.
"I really hope that the AX12 electric toilet seat with raised seat will be launched soon. I am impressed by its sleek design, advanced functionality, attractive appearance and affordable price. It meets different requirements in terms of weight capacity, adaptability and adjustable height, and accommodates users of different weights and preferences. This is a solution that provides barrier-free access to the bathroom for 90% of people," shared a local German caregiver.
"I have never seen a product like the AX12 electric toilet seat at previous European trade fairs. It fits in 90% of all bathrooms, offers adjustable inclination, is extremely waterproof and, above all, has a well thought-out, user-oriented design," noted a distributor from France.
H82 multifunctional nursing bed
As one of VOCIC's most popular products, this nursing bed continues to attract an impressive number of users who want to try out and learn about its features. The bed is ideal for bedridden or convalescent individuals and is suitable for use at home as well as in nursing facilities. Its smooth turning feature helps patients sit up effortlessly, significantly increasing the comfort of care.
"Many elderly people in the community center near my home could greatly benefit from such a product. Some have limited mobility and this bed allows them to sit up and lie down with ease and even eat comfortably in bed if necessary - similar to a hospital-grade nursing bed but with added comfort and functionality," said Joe, a caregiver. "I would choose this product as an essential product for aging in place."
Adaptive eating aids
In addition, the adaptive eating aids independently developed by VOCIC have been very well received and help users with limited hand function to rediscover independence in eating. These products not only improve independence in eating but also reduce the burden on caregivers, making them particularly useful for the elderly, people with disabilities and bedridden patients.
Proactive involvement of users in new product ideas and existing product improvements
During this exhibition, the VOCIC team collected and documented valuable user feedback. These insights will serve as inspiration for innovative features in future products and support the optimization of existing products, with a focus on the following key areas:
1. Improved weight capacity and comfort
In the wheelchair and rollator categories, users expressed a strong need for increased weight capacity and comfort. In response, the VOCIC team provided the following updates:
Increased Weight Capacity: VOCIC's mobility aids currently meet the weight requirements of most users. At the same time, VOCIC is actively developing heavy-duty mobility aids for users with higher weight needs.
Improved comfort: Comfort remains a key consideration in the development of every VOCIC product, with particular focus on elements such as seat height and cushion quality. VOCIC will continue to take a ‘user-centered’ approach to future product development to ensure optimal comfort for all users.
2. Addressing diverse health needs
The H81 nursing bed and the AX12 electrically adjustable toilet seat, presented as flagship products at the event, captivated attendees who wanted to explore their features first-hand. Users expressed interest in improvements tailored to patients' different needs, looking for additional functionality and an increased sense of security.
3. Wide range of accessories and extended insurance coverage
VOCIC has been actively developing a range of versatile accessories that will soon be available in our online store. In addition, VOCIC is exploring insurance coverage options. Stay tuned for the latest updates via our social media.
Collaborating with industry colleagues and improving team service
The VOCIC team regularly attends industry forums and seminars and has face-to-face discussions with medical professionals and user representatives. These interactions are essential to staying up to date with the latest needs of our users and to be able to respond flexibly.
At this year’s show, VOCIC and other companies engaged in intense discussions on “users and products,” sharing a common philosophy: developing user-centered, compassionate medical products that directly address users’ pain points.
In addition, by learning from other companies' successes in areas such as user research, patient psychological support and service details, VOCIC is committed to further optimizing our service approach. Our goal is to make our service more personalized, caring and in line with user expectations.
