A New Nurse Companion Bot
A Salt Lake City Care Facility is getting the aid of a
"Robot Nurse". It seems these days that there's a major
shortage of nurses so companies are trying to fill the gap
with robot nurses.
The "Companion" telepresence robot nurse is put out by a company called
InTouch Health.
The idea is that one nurse can control an avatar telepresence
robot to roam from room and check in on patients located in
far away places or even in other states. The robot has an LCD
video display to
show a nice face
to an otherwise freaked out patient who may think Arnold finally
came back! There are many such Elderly or Geriatric robots
such as the
Wakamaru coming to market lately. Other articles for you to examine doctor...
