A big issue in hospitals is that distribution and requesting supplies can be very inefficient. Ordering extra bags of blood, waiting on someone to bring lab results in, requesting a heart-lung machine, etc. all take time and manpower. With the current shortage on nurses, I think this robot may have a place in today's health care system. I would like to see capabilities like pre-screening patients and fetching supplies during operations implemented into the robot. However, direct patient care needs to still have a human touch.
