In healthcare, humanoid robots are not only tools but companions, enhancing patient care and hospital efficiency. They serve diverse functions, from assisting surgeons in performing delicate procedures to providing physical therapy for patients in rehabilitation. These robots are designed to understand and respond to patients’ needs, giving elderly patients reminders for medication and helping them with simple daily tasks, especially in long-term care settings.
Beyond physical assistance, humanoids can help relieve loneliness for isolated patients by engaging in conversation, playing games, or helping with video calls to family members. In high-pressure environments, like emergency rooms, humanoid robots can handle administrative tasks, such as patient registration, scheduling, and guiding patients to the correct departments. Their application in telemedicine also allows doctors to diagnose and interact with patients remotely, expanding access to healthcare in remote areas.
