In a breakthrough for medical automation, hospitals have begun testing AI-powered nurse robots to help relieve staff shortages and improve patient care
One of the leading innovations is Nurabot, developed by Foxconn and NVIDIA. This humanoid assistant can:
Patrol hospital wards
Deliver medications
Monitor patient vitals
Communicate with both staff and patients through an intuitive interface
Initial trials report that Nurabot could reduce nurses’ non-critical workload by up to 30%, freeing up more time for human care.
Why It Matters:
This AI is meeting a real human need. As healthcare systems around the world grapple with burnout and staffing gaps, robots like Nurabot could become invaluable partners—not replacements—for frontline workers. It’s a glimpse of how AI and robotics can work alongside humans to improve care, not compromise it.
