Alexandra Hospital using robot technology to inspect COVID-19 patients in isolation

In a first for Singapore, Alexandra Hospital will be using robot technology to inspect COVID-19 patients in isolation to minimise the risk of exposure for healthcare workers. The robot will make its rounds in the two isolation wards there, allowing healthcare professionals to inspect patients remotely. They will make use of the robot's camera and eye-safe laser pointer to observe and make diagnoses. Meanwhile, the hospital has also launched a pilot telemedicine and virtual consultation service for elderly patients with chronic but stable diseases.

Do those robots have microphones?

The LCD Screen's electric fields may attract viruses... Should ensure the robot does not become infected. It could be better to have a robot in every room instead of letting it moving around...
