Healthcare

Extra hands for the most understaffed buildings in the economy.

Hospitals lose enormous nursing time to transport and lifting — and lifting is the top workplace injury in care. Humanoids are being evaluated for patient mobility assistance, internal logistics, and therapy support. Every healthcare deployment carries regulatory and safety obligations beyond the spec sheet; validate with your clinical governance from day one.

01 / Where we can start

Small tasks.
Meaningful possibilities.

M

Patient Mobility Assistance

Supporting sit-to-stand, bed-to-wheelchair transfers, and assisted walking under force control.

  • Force-controlled lifting across realistic patient weights
  • Directly targets the top injury among caregivers
  • Around-the-clock availability for fall-risk patients
H

Hospital Logistics

Delivering medications, meals, linens, and lab samples between departments — through elevators and secured doors.

  • Chain-of-custody (RFID/barcode) for medication runs
  • Frees meaningful nursing time from transport
  • Access-control integration is the deployment blocker to check first
R

Rehabilitation Therapy

Guided exercises with repetition counts, motion-quality feedback, and progress reporting for recovery programs.

  • Consistency is the clinical value: same protocol, every session
  • Engagement rises with interactive, gamified sessions
  • Data should flow to the EHR for therapist review
C

Companionship & Cognitive Care

Social interaction, reminders, and cognitive engagement for elderly and memory-care residents.

  • Supervision model must be explicit — assistive, not autonomous care
  • Privacy posture and recording policy reviewed by governance
  • Measure outcomes, not novelty: engagement and staff load
