Thailand: an innovative robot to fight against Covid-19
This robot facilitates healthcare staff to deliver medical supplies, clothes, and foods to patients. The doctor can check the patient’s well-being through the teleconference system. This reduces the possibility of exposure to COVID and other infectious diseases. The robot is also useful for cancer care, where personnel can be exposed to radiation from treatment. The robot will be in service at EEC’s Medical Center located near Pattaya, a popular beach city in the east of Thailand.
