*Additional information - Examples of Scenarios:
-
For Reducing the workload and burnout among healthcare professionals in the hospital – Robotic solutions within the multidisciplinary team can handle: Assisting patients with questionnaires and assessments, managing daily schedules and treatment plans, and proactively communicating with patients using AI for tasks like fall detection, deterioration alerts, and responding to requests. Robots can also take physical measurements, connect to existing information systems, provide personalized reminders and messages, facilitate real-time transfer of information among healthcare professionals, and offer translation and language support.
-
For maximizing rehabilitation capabilities and increasing patient motivation during the treatment process, robotic solutions can: Develop self-exercise and rehabilitation content, including a library of cognitive and motor activities tailored to various functional states. They can encourage independent and group activities both during the hospital stay and at home with family support. Additionally, robots can provide remote, virtual, or hybrid rehabilitation services and offer companion care by developing conversation scripts for personalized interaction.
-
For mitigating loneliness and creating a framework for companion care and leisure activities, robotic solutions can: implement an automatic call management system and integrate AI into conversational interfaces. Additionally, they can develop conversation scripts to enhance personal accompaniment and interaction.
