ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATIONS AMIDST COVID - 19

Use of Robots in Hospitals

Considered as job stealers, amidst this corona pandemic, a team of robots alongside humans is helping in taking care of patients, having an important conversation, providing useful information, helping patients in stretching and entertaining them too at hospitals. Hospitals are turning to robots to tirelessly rid room, halls and door handles of viruses and bacteria.

Preferably, Doctors and nurses can control the robot by using a computer from outside the room, and can hold conversations with the patient via the screen and camera. The robot reduces the number of touchpoints with patients who are isolated, thereby reducing risk for healthcare workers, Robotic machines can also be sent to scan for the presence of the virus, such as when the Diamond Princess cruise ship cabins were checked for safety weeks after infected passengers were evacuated, according to the US Centers for Disease Control.

Mobile Ambulances

Seeing the COVID 19 outbreak, mobile ambulances which can have access to the affected area, came as a significant breakthrough for patients at far-flung areas, or not having immediate access to medical facilities. Hero Moto Corp is donating 60 first-responder mobile ambulances to authorities as part of its ongoing initiatives towards the Covid-19 relief efforts. These mobile ambulances will be useful for reaching out to the patients located in rural and remote areas and comfortably moving them to the nearest possible hospitals.
