Shared companion bed is a sharing economy model that has emerged in recent years, aiming to provide convenient and comfortable rest bedding for the families of hospital patients. However, there is no consensus about this emerging business model. Some people think it's a boon to the medical industry, providing tangible convenience to patients' families, while others think it's flashy and doesn't actually address patients' pain points. So, is the shared companion bed a blessing or a chicken rib?
Advantages of shared companion bedCompared with the traditional model, family members need to bring their own folding bed, sharing companion bed saves cumbersome processes and certain costs. At the same time, it also has the advantages of being easy to use, easy to move, and does not take up room space. These characteristics make the shared companion bed have a certain market demand and development prospect in the medical industry.
However, there are also some problems with sharing companion beds. The first is that the profit model is not clear enough. At present, many shared companion bed projects rely on ** subsidies or hospital cooperation to maintain operations, lacking their own hematopoietic capacity. The second is that the usage rate is not high. Since the companion bed needs to be carried by the family members themselves, many people are troublesome or do not know how to use it and give up using it. Finally, it is difficult to manage. Shared companion beds need to be maintained and disinfected regularly, but many people do not return them in time or do not pay attention to hygiene after use, which makes management more difficult.
Still others argue that sharing a companion bed doesn't really solve a patient's pain points. They believe that instead of spending time and money on flashy things like sharing companion beds, it is better to start from the actual needs of patients and strengthen the rational allocation and utilization of medical resources. For example, the burden on patients and families can be reduced by improving the quality and efficiency of medical services, or the anxiety of patients and families can be alleviated by providing services such as professional psychological counseling.
However, in response to the problem of being troublesome or not knowing how to use and give up the use and management of the problem, there are still shared companion bed service providers in the industry that have made changes, such as the Miaodao shared companion bed.

Therefore, the shared companion bed solves the problem of difficult rest for the families of hospital patients to a certain extent, and has market demand and development prospects. Although some people believe that it has problems such as unclear profit model, low usage rate and difficult management. But it is undeniable that the starting point of the shared companion bed is to start from the actual needs of patients. Therefore, we should evaluate the value of shared companion beds according to the actual situation, and we can neither blindly follow the trend nor deny its role. Only on the basis of rational analysis can we give better play to the advantages of shared companion beds and provide more convenient and comfortable medical services for patients and their families.
