Well its definitely not a thought anymore! According to the robotics business review they have created what is known as RoNA (Hstar Technology) which is a robot that will transfer patients as well as turn them. This technology is able to sense the center of gravity and adjust accordingly in order to safely transfer the patient (Robotics business review, 2013).  In addition Duke University School of Nursing has also created a robot named TRINA that complete simple tasks such as retrieving water for the patient and other common items that are frequently requested (Kane, 2017). ]]> 2017-10-09 22:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/brenaehardeman/pj7n6t140928/wish/195400293 brenaehardeman https://padlet.com/brenaehardeman/pj7n6t140928/wish/195405713 2017-10-09 23:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/brenaehardeman/pj7n6t140928/wish/195405713 brenaehardeman https://padlet.com/brenaehardeman/pj7n6t140928/wish/195405950 2017-10-09 23:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/brenaehardeman/pj7n6t140928/wish/195405950 brenaehardeman https://padlet.com/brenaehardeman/pj7n6t140928/wish/195406010 -Decreases workload for nursing staff
-Can potentially decrease work place injuries
-Can potentially attract patients to the facility ]]> 2017-10-09 23:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/brenaehardeman/pj7n6t140928/wish/195406010 brenaehardeman https://padlet.com/brenaehardeman/pj7n6t140928/wish/195406076 -Replaces the human touch
-Decrease need for actual nursing assistants (job loss) 
-Cost of the robots/ Maintenance for the robots

Decreasing the workload on healthcare professionals is something that is much needed. I do however have some concerns in regards to the younger population of patients. I do believe for some children the presence of a robot can be frightening. Also I think bariatric patients should be considered when designing these robots. ]]> 2017-10-09 23:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/brenaehardeman/pj7n6t140928/wish/195407087
