European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development Plus Plus
Identifying Challenges in the Healthcare Sector
ECHORD++ in a nutshell
• Strives to integrate healthcare practitioners, their knowledge and expertise in the product development process.
• An once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to influence how the future healthcare technologies can offer you the best help possible

Challenges – the 4 D’s of Robotics Often, when you have to identify where a robotic solution can help you, you can ask yourself if you encounter any of the “D-assignments” in your professional life as a healthcare practitioner

Distance

Dull
Robots can do jobs that require the repetition of actions over and overwithout getting bored or making mistakes.Examples could be:
• To repeat rehabilitation exercises • To repeat therapeutic treatment. E.g. in treatment of persons with autism
See examples of current solutions here:
5
Dangerous
Robotic solutions can perform tasks that can harm employees physically, and can help prevent situations that put the patient and the employee in danger.An example could be:
• Heavy lifts• Operations
See examples of current solutions here:
6
Dirty
Clean environments improves health of employees and patients.Examples could be:
• Cleaning robots• Washing robots• Bin emptying• Maintenance
See examples of current solutions here:
7
Distance
Distance between departments and work spaces cause waste of time and resources. Examples of robotic solutions could be:
• Logistic robots• Autonomous guided vehicles• Pneumatic dispatch systems
See examples of current solutions here:
What is your challenge?
Please indicate your challenge where a new generation of robotic solution could be developed.
Maybe the current solutions do not fulfill your needs?Maybe you have a challenge which does not have a solution yet?
