SINGAPORE - Speaking to a hospital pharmacist on Tuesday (22 Dec), retired container driver Ow Soo Tian recited the five types of medicine he takes, when he takes them, and any side effects.
Such consultations, part of Alexandra Hospital s (AH) routine reviews with patients to help ensure that they know their medication, are usually done in person.
But this time, 71-year-old Mr Ow, who needs a walking stick to get around, spoke to pharmacist Joshua Low via teleconferencing from his home.
The virtual connection was made possible by the hospital s new robot Temi, saving him a trip to AH.
The hospital is trialling the use of smart robots like Temi to visit patients in Queenstown who are homebound, isolated, have multiple conditions, and have limited access to technology, such as Mr Ow.
