Impact of a “Digital Health” Curriculum on Students’ Perception About Competence and Relevance of Digital Health Topics for Future Professional Challenges: Prospective Pilot Study

Impact of a “Digital Health” Curriculum on Students’ Perception About Competence and Relevance of Digital Health Topics for Future Professional Challenges: Prospective Pilot Study

The students’ experiences were assessed using a 6-item questionnaire with open and closed questions (Robotics R-questions Table 1). The application behavior was analyzed and the usefulness of the teaching method was assessed. Different robots built with the Lego Mindstorms construction kit. Screenshot of the Lego Mindstorms application-based visual programming software.

Health Care Social Robots in the Age of Generative AI: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Health Care Social Robots in the Age of Generative AI: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Beetz et al [15], specify acceptance of assistive robotics as being based on trust. Human-related aspects such as cultural background, living conditions, or expectations toward the functionality of a robot as well as criteria of the robot itself such as design [6,32], language capability, or range of functions are relevant for the acceptance of an SR [6]; specifically, an anthropomorphic approach on the design of SR is deemed to be of high relevance [14].

Clinicians’ Perceptions and Potential Applications of Robotics for Task Automation in Critical Care: Qualitative Study

Clinicians’ Perceptions and Potential Applications of Robotics for Task Automation in Critical Care: Qualitative Study

Despite these challenges, the contribution of robotics to health care, including ICUs, remains seemingly promising [20]. Understanding clinician perceptions of robotics within the ICU is paramount, as it directly influences the adoption, use, and effectiveness of these technologies. This study aims to explore the multifaceted views of health care professionals on the deployment of robotics in the ICU, identifying perceived benefits, challenges, and areas for improvement.

User Acceptance of a Home Robotic Assistant for Individuals With Physical Disabilities: Explorative Qualitative Study

User Acceptance of a Home Robotic Assistant for Individuals With Physical Disabilities: Explorative Qualitative Study

Examples of PAI include robotics, intelligent sensors, autonomous vehicles, and other cyberphysical systems that merge computational intelligence with physical functionalities [8-10]. AI-powered robotics in health care may offer a range of potential benefits that could revolutionize the field [11]. These systems provide precision and consistency in tasks, often surpassing human capabilities. Precision is particularly vital in surgeries to avoid adverse events and harm to patients.

Advanced Technology in a Real-World Rehabilitation Setting: Longitudinal Observational Study on Clinician Adoption and Implementation

Advanced Technology in a Real-World Rehabilitation Setting: Longitudinal Observational Study on Clinician Adoption and Implementation

Within rehabilitation, this may involve devices such as virtual reality, robotics, smartphone apps and activity trackers [4]. While evidence is emerging, research has shown digital interventions can improve patient outcomes (eg, in mobility and upper limb function) [5-9], improve patient engagement in rehabilitation [10-13], and increase therapy dosage [6,14,15]. As technologies advance and become more affordable [16-18], they are increasingly accessible in rehabilitation [10,19,20].

Cocreative Development of Robotic Interaction Systems for Health Care: Scoping Review

Cocreative Development of Robotic Interaction Systems for Health Care: Scoping Review

The medical journalist Nicole Janke [2] suggests that the main barriers to the use of robotics in health care are the lack of controllability, the lack of adaptability, and the complexity of control functions for changing users, contexts of use, and suitability for the user. The current inflexibility is one of the reasons for the rather low penetration of already available robotic systems in everyday life and, especially, in care.

Improving the Social Well-Being of Single Older Adults Using the LOVOT Social Robot: Qualitative Phenomenological Study

Similarly, in their exploratory study conducted in the context of long-term care facilities with Pepper (Soft Bank Robotics), a semihumanoid social robot, Blindheim et al [33] suggested that Pepper’s presence increased communal activities involving the social robot in terms of physical activity, human-robot interaction, social stimulation, and communication among residents as well as between residents and employees.

Advances in the Application of AI Robots in Critical Care: Scoping Review

Advances in the Application of AI Robots in Critical Care: Scoping Review

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are 2 distinct yet interconnected concepts ubiquitous in contemporary media and digital platforms. The term artificial intelligence was first introduced as a Medical Subject Heading in the US National Library of Medicine’s Pub Med database in 1986, defined as “Theory and development of computer systems which perform tasks that normally require human intelligence” [1].
