The robot doctor helping treat hospital patients during a pandemic

🤖With covid19 the rise in the use of robotics worldwide has been enormous!

Greenslopes Hospital in Brisbane is using temi to assist in the fight against covid!

The hospital’s Emergency Centre director, Dr Mark Baldwin, said patients had been reacting well to the newest doctor on the wards since two temi units had been put into action over the past few weeks. Dr Baldwin said temi was not designed to replace doctors, but give them another tool to use when dealing with patients in unprecedented health situations.

“I think there is a role for robots in hospitals, for things like simple meal deliveries even now with our technologies,” he said.

🤖“In a clinical setting the way we’re using it is ideal, but there’s room to grow in the future, especially in the current environment where we’re trying to manage social distancing and spacing our patients from our staff.”
