b'Integration of Technology - Robotics & Automation01Robotics: A New EcosystemThe rise in autonomous robots demand a new ecosystem that affects operations, architecture and infrastructure. Thus, ample provisions for infrastructure such as space, loading, services and IT are crucial. Apart from surgical robots, we envision the use of robots in the following ways:Logistic SupportEnd-to-End Automation - see diagram on right 02Patient SupportSocial - Monitoring and analysis of recovery journey, use of sensors to track patient healthStaff SupportPatient care - Autonomous/power assisted patient transport on beds/wheelchairsService - Routine tasks e.g. preparation of patient rooms, disinfection operations, and transportation of supplies within the ward.Multi-Functional RobotsThese robots may be multi-functional with payload improvements, modular and attachable components e.g. the same AMR is capable of transporting linen, medicine and food, and also cleaning and disinfection. This will reduce the number and type of docking stations needed, improve01HKS | Automated Goods reception through robot communication and systemAGVs, conveyors, and RFID | Herlev Hospital, Denmarkmaintainability. 02 HKS | Automated packing/unloading of instrument baskets for CSSD | Rigshospitalet, Denmark03 HKS | Automated Dispensing System for Pharmacy | HUS Hospital, Finland0315'
