This promising rise demonstrates robotics’ growing significance and potential in revolutionizing healthcare delivery. Here we delve into notable recent advancements in the field and the implications of robotics in healthcare for nurses and healthcare workers.

Meet Nurse Robots and Healthcare AI Tools

In Japan, human-like robots have been utilized for years as supplemental healthcare workers in elderly homes across the country. More recently, hospitals and healthcare facilities have started to introduce nurse robots and other healthcare AI tools. 

Larger robotic machines can be used to carry out laborious physical tasks like moving patients, and smaller interactive robots are being used to combat loneliness and inactivity in the elderly population. 

1. Moxi

Austin, Texas-based Diligent Healthcare was established in 2017 and has been working on Moxi ever since. Moxi is an advanced robot designed to assist healthcare teams.

The robotic assistant is outfitted with modern sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence algorithms that allow it to autonomously roam healthcare facilities, engage with people, and complete non-patient-facing tasks such as delivering lab specimens and supplies or collecting soiled linens. 

Moxi also greets patients in hallways and poses for selfies. The robot’s social intelligence enables it to learn and adapt to its surroundings.
