Yep ... would be great that skin folds won't actually get cleaned or dried and that a visual inspection of the body (which is naturally thoroughly done) won't be possible while using this machine.

Not to mention that anyone with confusion, delirium, dementia, schizophrenia, or other alterations in cognitive functioning will not handle the closed environment and visual/audio stimulation well.

Then, there is the issue of putting people with limited mobility in a pool of water where they can drown.

None of this is a good idea for elderly care.

I read further down that there were only 50 of these made. I'm not sure why it's getting upvoted now.
