Hello all,So my first day of rotations at columbia hospital was new and exciting for many reasons, but most of all I was pleasantly surprised that I would be working hand in hand with a robot named Roxane. She wasn't a dispensing robot like I had seen before, she was a delivery robot. We would make the meds and when we were all done Roxane would come pick them up and deliver them to the floors of our choosing. I know it may seems naive or child-like, but there is nothing more entertaining to me than walking into an elevator that Roxane is riding along with me....Healthcare technology is advancing everyday, there are robots that operate complex surgeries, dispense and deliver medications, among many other things. Most people would be scared that the advances in technology might replace their jobs, but I think it has just made our world that much easier. I no longer will have to run around columbia delivering all the medications to the different floors, Roxane has now taken that burden away. I came across an article that talks about the advances in technology within the medical arena. Its interesting and relevant so I posted the link. Check it out if that's your cup of tea...

This is amazing, how technology can help us to better patient care, in this case, Roxane is a very helful tool that hospitals can utilice to improve their delivery methods in a fast, accurate and efficiently way.
