Special: Battle Against Novel Coronavirus
Robots and intelligent medical care solutions have earned their spurs as the entire nation combats novel coronavirus pneumonia.
To date, Shanghai TMiRob Technology Co Ltd has delivered 10 intelligent disinfection robots to the six hospitals in Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei province. The machines also are present at hospitals in Shanghai and Wenzhou, East China’s Zhejiang province, working around the clock.
As TMiRob noted, the robot can move around on its own and deliver intensive disinfection services in areas where patients and medical workers frequent. The robot can operate automatically, so it can minimize a person’s extra exposure in a hospital environment.
Similarly, the automatically mobile disinfection robot made by Shanghai Lingzhi Technology Co Ltd has started its clinical application in hospitals in Wuhan and Shanghai to fight against the novel coronavirus.
As explained by the company’s general manager Zhang Kejun, the robot features an internal disinfection system that can release disinfection gas. The machine can autonomously navigate and replace human workers to complete disinfection jobs in epidemic areas. A robot can carry a maximum 1,500 milliliters of disinfectant, providing three hours of nonstop work each time.
Likewise, the virtual assistant developed by Shanghai Udesk Co Ltd has been used in Putuo district of northwestern Shanghai to provide epidemic screening services. The virtual assistant can answer 200 phone calls in five minutes and provide results simultaneously. It can gather a target person’s identification information, recent contacts and symptoms. With the information confirmed, the virtual assistant will classify the data and come up with statistical results instantly. Such a job will usually take four hours for human workers to finish.
