The robot will calm the child during the clinical procedure.
The MEDi robot is a great companion for children during clinical procedures. Studies have shown that the methods he uses can help a child feel up to 50 percent less pain.
MEDi, developed by RxRobots, is a 23-inch tall robot that has 25 degrees of freedom. The purpose of this humanoid robot is to help children in hospitals. He will calm them down by talking, dancing or playing games, as well as talking about the procedure itself and explaining how to make it less painful. Clinical studies have shown that these methods can help children feel up to 50 percent less pain.
The project was presented this year at CES 2015. The MEDi robot is already in use at the Children's Hospital in Alberta , Canada, and will soon appear in the USA. ')
Robots have long been used in medicine , including in pediatrics. In order to reassure the patient, they can give him the “Most therapeutic robot in the world” - this is how the cute creation of man is indicated in the Guinness Book of Records.
And this small Keepon is dancing and reacting to touch.
