Objectives: This study aimed to derive specific user requirements and barriers in a real medical environment to define theessential elements and functions of two types of point-of-care (POC) robot: a telepresence robot as a tool for teleconsultation,and a bedside robot to provide emotional care for patients. Methods: An analysis of user requirements was conducted; userneeds were gathered and identified, and detailed, realistic scenarios were created. The prototype robots were demonstratedin physical environments for envisioning and evaluation. In all, three nurses and three clinicians participated as evaluators toobserve the demonstrations and evaluate the robot systems. The evaluators were given a brief explanation of each scene andthe robots’ functionality. Four major functions of the teleconsultation robot were defined and tested in the demonstration. Inaddition, four major functions of the bedside robot were evaluated. Results: Among the desired functions for a teleconsultationrobot, medical information delivery and communication had high priority. For a bedside robot, patient support, patientmonitoring, and healthcare provider support were the desired functions. The evaluators reported that the teleconsultationrobot can increase support from and access to specialists and resources. They mentioned that the bedside robot can improvethe quality of hospital life. Problems identified in the demonstration were those of space conflict, communication errors, andsafety issues. Conclusions: Incorporating this technology into healthcare services will enhance communication and teamworkskills across distances and thereby facilitate teamwork. However, repeated tests will be needed to evaluate and ensureimproved performance.
