S2: E02: Getting Down to Business with Robots

Having set the stage for what robots can do for us in healthcare in the previous episode, we are now going to jump in to one of the break out rooms at DOCSF 2019 where UCSF’s Dr. Aenor Sawyer moderated a session with Aethon, a robotics company from Pittsburgh that has deployed hundreds of automated hospital roaming robots called TUGs all over the country to transport everything from food trays to medications in a completely automated fashion. --- Learn more about the DOCSF conference by visiting docsf.health ---

Om Podcasten

The Digital Orthopaedics Conference San Francisco (DOCSF) was created to bridge the worlds of digital health and clinical orthopaedics and thereby catalyze the adoption of technology in musculoskeletal care. This podcast series features key speakers and highlights from the live event. Why orthopaedics? We believe that embedding digital technologies in a narrow integrated vertical is more likely to affect change than targeting one-fifth of the U.S. economy. We also believe that if a conference is to move the ball forward, it needs to target leaders who are positioned to drive change. These leaders want a conference that is practical, identifies solutions to real problems, and that provides perspective from people outside their normal circle. To this end, we invite Health Care, Industry, Finance, Entrepreneurs and Payers to participate. The DOCSF program design uses many educational formats including ‘case studies’ to illustrate success and a broad panel of experts to ask tough questions. And because change does not happen in a vacuum, we include leadership, policy and design segments in the program. Find out more, and register for our next conference, by visiting docsf.health.
