Request Summary: Logistical robots in healthcare environments
Request Category: Researcher
| Question Number 1: We are undertaking some research to better understand the current levels of use of logistical robots in the UK hospitals, noting a perceived slow adoption compared to other sectors. One of our aims is to understand their impacts in healthcare environments, as technologies that could potentially reduce ‘non-nursing activities' for nursing and auxiliary staff, such as food/linen delivery and housekeeping services. We are also looking at possible barriers when it comes to their implementation. Please see attached - | |
