The night nurse:

How long before your hospital has this? When I fell out of bed one of the first nights before I realized I had one useless leg, I was no longer close to the  emergency call button. And since the point was to go to the bathroom I ended up peeing on myself on the floor.   Right after that they catheterized me, which really meant I wasn't practicing walking as much as I should just because the nurses didn't want to have to help stroke patients in the middle of the night to the bathroom.

It also quietly opens the doors of rooms to check on residents. When the robot detects an emergency such as a fall or sleep abnormalities, it notifies its human colleagues immediately by sending them images. Demand for robots that can perform human chores has skyrocketed around the world, particularly during the pandemic.) Related: How the pandemic is good for robots THE ROBOT REVOLUTION
