Welcome to Healthcare Robot. Robots will find an especially large application in healthcare. For instance, a company called Script Pro manufactures a robot designed to help pharmacies fill prescriptions.
McKesson’s Robot RX is another healthcare robotics product that helps pharmacies dispense thousands of medications daily with little or no errors. This massive robot is ten feet wide and thirty feet long and can hold hundreds of different kinds of medications and thousands of doses.
In Japan, several healthcare robots for the home are already on the market. Japanese engineers expect robots to be available for commercial household use by 2010. The domestic market for Japanese commercial and industrial robots may be as high as $8 billion dollars by this time, and like most Japanese electronics, will be marketed to the industrialized world shortly thereafter.
NOTE: Take a look at our original website for HealthcareRobot in 2004. How the world has changed in just 5 years!
With 2010 upon us, we thank you for visiting and supporting today’s Healthcare Robot!

I have been reading a lot about the healthcare industry in Japan. Evidently they have an aging population with not enough human healthcare professionals to handle the demand, so they have been designing homecare / healthcare robots for the last decade or so.
