Charity and Social Care

We took the lead with a donation of NT$150,000. At the same time, corporate volunteers set up booths at the fair to educate more than 130 people about sleep apnea and ventilators. Our goal was to encourage the public to donate and participate in social welfare through the event.

Series of Educational Activities on Medical Assistive Equipment
Wellell aims to reach out to communities across Taiwan to provide health education services to groups in need. The goal is to enhance knowledge about the use of assistive equipment and prevention of pressure injuries, thereby helping more individuals with disabilities and patients to embark on a journey toward a healthy and independent recovery. To achieve this, Wellell has collaborated with associations and organizations in various counties, cities, and regions to organize a series of educational activities on medical assistive devices.
Assistance Programs for Patients with Spinal InjuriesWellell makes regular annual donations to regional spinal cord injury associations across Taiwan. In 2023, the Company supported six such associations in their ongoing efforts to care for individuals with spinal cord injuries. Wellell also sent corporate volunteers to the associations' general meetings to provide product education and assist members in the use of pressure-relief devices, such as the ROHO floating cushion, ensuring that individuals with spinal cord injuries can use such assistive devices correctly, reducing the risk of pressure injuries when sitting. At the same time, the associations also produced manuals, with Wellell providing information on health education so that even the injured who did not participate could understand the subject. This project has assisted a total of 3,220 people with spinal cord injuries.
Education on Assistive Products and Pressure Injury Prevention
Class A assistive device assessment specialists, as well as physiotherapists and occupational therapists, are the frontline staff dealing with patients. To support them, Wellell sent more than 100 corporate volunteers to visit 40 assistive device centers across Taiwan. These volunteers provided assistive device knowledge to assessment specialists and physiotherapists/occupational therapists who attended accredited courses. This initiative ensures that professionals in different regions receive specialized knowledge so that individuals with disabilities have local access to pressure injury prevention resources. The courses were held under the topic of "Evidence-Based Prevention Interventions and the Selection of Pressure-Relief Devices in Clinical Guidelines for Pressure Injuries" and were designed to provide health education to ensure that every specialist understands the functionality of assistive devices and the concepts of preventing pressure injury exacerbation. The aim was to equip these professionals with the knowledge to recommend the timely use of assistive devices when interacting with patients for the first time, preventing serious pressure injuries and reducing the burden on social and medical resources. In 2023, Wellell invested a total of 600 hours and organized 43 health education activities.
Health Education for University, College, and Nursing School Students
Wellell aims to cultivate knowledge of medical assistive devices among new students by collaborating with schools such as Pingtung High School, National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences, and Cardinal Tien Junior College of Healthcare and Management in Xindian District, New Taipei City. The Company organized credit courses on pressure injury prevention and provided health education on prevention techniques and the use of various assistive devices. These sessions allowed students to experience and understand the practical application of assistive devices, helping them to learn how pressure-relief devices can assist patients in achieving a comfortable recovery. Through this initiative, students were taught Wellell's philosophy of "guiding patients toward a healthy self-recovery journey." A total of 150 students took part in the courses.
Well-Being of the Elderly
In response to Taiwan's rapidly aging population and the resulting care-related issues, Wellell has been a long-term contributor to the Welfare Organization for the Elderly, Taiwan, R.O.C. The Company not only donates funds but also provides office space and equipment free of charge to support the organization. By collaborating with government agencies, social welfare organizations, and other groups, Wellell aims to raise awareness among the government and the public about the challenges faced by the elderly. This initiative seeks to promote the enactment of relevant legislation, advocate for the rights of the elderly, and enhance their quality of life, ensuring that seniors can enjoy a safer and more dignified life in their later years. In 2023, Wellell collaborated with the organization on five public welfare events. These included inviting domestic and foreign scholars and experts to discuss and advocate for Taiwan's "assistive device rental system." In addition, training sessions for medical and caregiving personnel on the topics such as Reablement for the Elderly and Application of Assistive Devices were also organized. A total of 18 Wellell volunteers participated in these activities, which reached 18,320 people.
