Richtech Robotics, a Nevada-based provider of AI-driven service robots, announced the launch of its newest innovation: Medbot. Designed to streamline pharmacy operations, Medbot offers 24/7 medication delivery, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs in healthcare facilities.
“At Richtech Robotics, we’re passionate about pioneering solutions to mitigate workplace inefficiencies and build systems that address relevant industry concerns,” said Matt Casella, President of Richtech Robotics. “With a track record of success across the hospitality and service sectors, adapting our products to enhance conditions for the healthcare workforce and infrastructure was a natural progression for us. Finding a way to offload routine daily tasks for healthcare workers has been a pain point for many years, and we’re excited to launch an innovative solution to help hospitals gain a competitive edge.”
Medbot aims to address the shortage of pharmacy staff in the healthcare industry by automating medication deliveries. Capable of 24-hour operation with up to 10 hours of continuous work, Medbot ensures secure and precise deliveries, allowing pharmacy technicians to focus on more critical tasks.
Key features of Medbot include:
- Elevator integration: Ensures reliable, smooth operation across complex spaces.
- Four storage spaces: Each can hold up to 3.17 gallons and be opened individually.
- Smooth delivery: Navigates various flooring types, dense crowds, and cluttered spaces.
- Large touchscreen display: Facilitates easy scheduling and real-time visibility.
- Ultrasonic sensors and cameras: Enhance obstacle detection and avoidance.
- IoT enablement: Allows data exchange with other devices and systems, such as smart doors.
Medbot boasts a 100% delivery success rate in its initial installations, demonstrating its reliability in various healthcare settings. Applications include robot delivery from pharmacy to in-patient units, emergency departments, chemotherapy preparations, infusion centers, intra-pharmacy transport, and discharge medication delivery from outpatient pharmacy to patients' nurses.
“Amid rising operating expenses and a surge in patient numbers across the country, Medbot strives to empower healthcare facilities with superior care, despite staffing shortages. Our Medbot integration method is the only one on the market that has been proven to consistently work,” added Casella.
