Robots connect doctors with patience

Have you ever been bed bound at a hospital wondering what is going on with you? While at the hospital did you wish you could connect with nurses and doctors, but all you had was the buzzer commonly ignore by many nurses at your fingertips.

Fear no more, you may be ill, but now you can connect with your doctor via teleconferencing. Baltimore's Sinai Hospital is one of the first hospital to have the robot which travels from patients' bed to patients' bed allowing doctors to communicate with patients while being away from the hospital.

The smart robot is able to reposition its two cameras giving the patient the illusion that the doctor is by their bedside while being anywhere around the world, thereby allowing the doctors to communicate with patients at anytime, day or night.

This is a breakthrough as doctors could keep updated by attending seminars and still able to make their regular rounds remotely.
