Helsinki: how can robotics solutions provide assistance to patients?

As single-patient hospital rooms become more common and staff shortages increase, patients are spending increased amounts of time alone. Various care robotics solutions could alleviate this problem. 

This challenge is looking for robotics-based solutions enabling internal hospital transport services for patients.  Patients with mobility restrictions or intentional movement limitations could benefit from internal hospital transport services, allowing various items to be ordered to the patient’s room.

Helsinki University Hospital (HUS) will host up to two pilots.
