This article describes the results of a field test of an exoskeleton in care work. Qualitative data about the implementation and use of exoskeletons, with the help of interviews and user diaries, were collected both from nurses who used the exoskeleton and managers at different levels of the care organization. On the basis of these data, there are relatively few obstacles in and many opportunities for the implementation of exoskeletons in care work, taken that the introduction, orientation and continuous support for technology use are given enough weight.
