This may be the friendly robot face you see before you die.

Health companion robots are gaining ground for consumer households.

Hello, human. Are you dying? Let's try and fix that.

▼ When it comes to robots in our home, there are a few well-worn tropes to which we’ve grown accustomed. There’s the friendly Rosie the Robot butlerthat brings us our futuristic food and slippers. Then there’s the fatalistic, sci-fi view in which any humanoid robot is just a step towards a Terminator- or Matrix-style dystopia in which humans are reduced to a nuisance or a power supply, respectively. At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, however, there was an assortment of robots designed to monitor a person’s health and intervene if something goes wrong. And those helpful little bots may be the last thing you see before the squishy, inefficient, meat-based machine we call a body gives up the ghost.

The Bot Care interface let's caretakers monitor a patient's vitals from afar.

The most high-profile health helper bot at the show was Samsung’s Bot Care. Revealed during Samsung’s massive press conference, the hip-high robot is part of Samsung’s new robotics platform; others include an automated pal designed to help people in retail shopping environments, and another designed to filter pollution from the air in your home.
From the outside, Bot Care looks a lot like the robots we’ve come to expect at CES. It has a decidedly Pixar vibe with friendly eyes plastered across a digital display that doubles as its face. It’s adorable, which makes sense for a device that’s meant to act as a companion for a human.
It’s easy to imagine Bot Care cruising around the home of an older person who wants to keep living alone, but needs some assistance with regular health tasks. On-stage, the company demoed Bot Care’s ability to remind companions when they need to take a pill—and alert them if they’re inadvertently taking too much of a specific medication. (▪ ▪ ▪)

Wow.A great leap forward in patient care and hospital services.It would be of excellent value if the cost of the service could deescalate in sequence.
