First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a robot named DAISY that asks patients about their health and takes their blood pressure and temperature when they arrive at the emergency department. 156 adults used the system to see if it could produce a useful report for doctors and nurses. The goal was to find out if the robot saves staff time and if patients liked using it.
