At the recent Annual Future of Health Technology Conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a mobile robotic doctor was introduced as a method for medical practitioners to treat more patients. The Remote Presence Robot, RP-6, manufactured by InTouch Health of Santa Barbara, Calif., allows doctors to sit at home in their jammies and, by use of a joystick, send the robot to the patient's bedside, take pictures of charts, and speak to the patient. Afterward, he can switch back to Grand Theft Auto for a more stimulating video game experience.
