Abstract

This article is focused mainly on the role of the remote presence robot in health care facilities. This article has a view of the advantages, disadvantages, objectives, uses of RPRT in health care settings, and in different departments, and precautions to be taken while using RPR. In recent decades the usage of remote presence robots has been used in many clinical settings like ICU, emergency departments, medical, surgical, neurological units, and operating rooms. Remote presence robot technology RPRT, is an advanced robotics device technology that enables health care professionals to provide real-time clinical services to patients. This has been increasing in both outpatient and inpatient settings. RPRT in medical education can teach the professional curriculum to students in an interactive way as teachers do. RPR can even enable teachers to teach and interact with students remotely. The world's first hospital to introduce remote presence robots in the university of California, Los Angeles in its neurosurgery intensive care unit. The application of RPRT will increase doctor access for patients, families, and hospital staff in clinical care settings.
