(ANSA) - BOLOGNA, MARCH 28 - A 'robot' that allows you to make televisions of patients hospitalized and affected by Covid-19, significantly limiting the risks for the medical and health personnel of the 'Infermi' hospital in Rimini.
The instrument, produced by the American InTouch Health, is called 'InTouch Vita' and is a small robot, consisting of a "body" on the top and a "head" consisting of monitors and cameras, both remotely controllable by an operator who is in a remote control station, and is able to create a real "telepresence".
In this way, - it is explained on the Ausl Romagna website - thanks to the use of a computer equipped with a hemicrophone webcam, the doctor is able to guide the robot through the corridors to the patient's bed, showing himself through the monitor . The introduction of the robot is the result of a pilot project proposed and managed by the AUSL of Romagna thanks to the donation of around 35,000 euros by RivieraBanca
