Robots in hospital: Camello+ can be a game-changer
In recent years, hospitals are turning towards more use of automation and service robots, helping humans focus their skills elsewhere. From delivering meals to ensuring patients receive the right medication, robots are beginning to do more than assist surgeons.
The opening date of Arab Health 2024 also marked the unveiling of a multipurpose hospital service robot, designed to reduce labour-intensive duties and allow staff to improve patient care. Priced at about $70,000, the Camello+ robot can be a game-changer.
Built by Singapore technology company OTSAW, the robot can replace the manpower of three full-time employees. It can deliver drugs, on-demand meals, laundry and surgical tools, and even dispose of medical waste, according to The National.
