Zuowei

Shenzhen Zuowei Technology Co., Ltd. focuses exclusively on intelligent care solutions for disabled and bedridden elderly populations. Founded in 2019, the company has developed a broad product portfolio addressing six critical care needs: incontinence management, bathing assistance, feeding support, bed-to-chair transfer, walking rehabilitation, and dressing assistance.

Company Overview

Zuowei was established by a team of executives and R&D professionals from Fortune 500 companies including Huawei and BYD. The founding team brings over 10 years of combined experience in artificial intelligence, medical devices, and clinical medicine translation. The company operates manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen and Guilin with a total production area of approximately 35,000 square meters.

The company has positioned itself as a pioneer in China’s intelligent elderly care sector, becoming the first domestic company to develop a complete product line specifically designed around the six essential care needs of disabled seniors. Zuowei has accumulated over 300 technology patents, including more than 100 invention patents, 50+ utility model patents, and 20+ design patents.

In November 2022, Zuowei completed a Series A funding round of tens of millions of RMB, with proceeds allocated toward expanding distribution channels across seven strategic areas: city partnerships, hospital geriatric departments, OEM collaborations with medical device companies, nursing training facilities at vocational schools, domestic e-commerce platforms, international e-commerce, and smart elderly care projects.

Core Products

ZW279Pro Intelligent Incontinence Care Robot

The flagship product addresses one of the most challenging aspects of elderly care—automatic excrement management. The ZW279Pro automatically detects urination and defecation through smart diaper sensors, then executes a four-step cleaning cycle: waste extraction, warm water washing, warm air drying, and UV sterilization with activated carbon deodorization. The system provides 24-hour unattended care capability.

The robot features an ARM chip processor, touch screen interface, remote controller, and real-time data logging for urine and feces records. It has been deployed in nursing homes, hospital wards, ICUs, and home care settings throughout China.

ZW568 Powered Exoskeleton Walking Aid

This wearable rehabilitation robot assists individuals with Parkinson’s disease, leg weakness, and mobility impairments. Dual power units at the hip joints provide assisted power for thigh extension and flexion. The device operates for up to 3 hours (120 minutes) of continuous use and supports over 10 km of outdoor walking on a single charge.

Technical specifications include DC 21.6V battery, 4-hour charging time, 5-level adjustable power output, and dimensions of 515 × 345 × 335 mm. The exoskeleton is suitable for indoor and outdoor use (excluding rainy conditions).

ZW186Pro Portable Bed Shower Machine

Designed for bedridden patients who cannot access traditional bathing facilities, this portable shower system features three operating modes: body scrubbing, hair washing, and full showering. The water recirculation technology prevents leakage and spillage through continuous suction of wastewater. Interchangeable silicone and sponge shower heads accommodate different cleaning needs.

Technology & Innovation

Zuowei’s R&D team of over 30 engineers has developed proprietary technologies across multiple domains. The company’s intelligent nursing platform “Smart Assistant” was upgraded in April 2025 with DeepSeek AI integration, enhancing service capabilities for its robotic devices and care services.

The company holds certifications from major international regulatory bodies including CE marking, FDA clearance (US), MDR medical device certification (EU), UKAC certification, and CQC certification. Quality management systems include ISO13485, ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, GMP, IPMS, and BSCI certifications.

In March 2023, Zuowei acquired the Relync brand and associated intellectual property rights, expanding its product portfolio and market reach.

Market Presence

Zuowei has received recognition from government agencies and industry organizations. The ZW279Pro incontinence care robot was included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s “2022 Elderly Products Promotion Directory” in September 2022. Both the incontinence care robot and portable shower machine were selected for the “Shanghai Smart Health Elderly Care Product and Service Promotion Directory (2022 Edition)” in October 2022.

The company was certified as a National High-tech Enterprise, National Technology-based SME, and Specialized and Sophisticated Enterprise.
