# Medical Assisting Droids The ED-7270 Robot Provides Much Needed Support in Hospitals By Matt Ho | Published 2011-09-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ed-7270-robot References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2011/09/07/ed-7270-robot/) & [ed.co.kr](http://www.ed.co.kr/eng/02_product/view.asp) The medical field has recently been experimenting with different technologies to assist doctors, one of which has resulted in the ED-7270 Robot. The ED-7270 Robot is a nifty little droid that makes the life of a doctor a little easier. It can remotely sense a patient's blood pressure and pulse, and sends all the updated information to the hospital. The robot does have conversation capability, which can be beneficial to patients when families are unable to visit. This particular feature also allows the droid to remind patients when to take their medication. Currently, the ED-7270 Robot is being tested as a pilot project in senior and nursing homes in Australia. Hopefully, it will make its way to the rest of the world soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Remote Patient Monitoring:** The development of the ED-7270 Robot highlights the trend of remote patient monitoring, allowing doctors to gather important medical data from a distance. - **Healthcare Robotics:** Robots like the ED-7270 Robot demonstrate the growing trend of using robotic technology in healthcare settings, providing support and assistance to medical professionals. - **Telemedicine:** The conversation capability of the ED-7270 Robot showcases the trend of telemedicine, enabling remote communication and care between doctors and patients. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can benefit from adopting remote patient monitoring technologies like the ED-7270 Robot to improve patient care and efficiency. - **Robotics:** The robotics industry has an opportunity to develop more advanced and specialized robots for healthcare applications, based on the success of the ED-7270 Robot. - **Telecommunications:** The telecommunications industry can support the trend of telemedicine by providing reliable and secure communication infrastructure for remote doctor-patient interactions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elderly Care Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeo.md) - [Senior Care Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiden.md) - [AI-Based Children Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robin-the-robot.md) - [AI Care Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyodol-doll.md) - [Friendly Robotic Wheelchair Caregivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheelchair-robot-concept.md) - [Interactive Companion Care-Bots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourier-g3.md) - [Assistive Homecare Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeroth-m1.md) - [Expressive Home Assistance Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oppo-xiaobu.md) - [Hospital-Housed AI Chatbots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/massachusetts-general-hospital.md)
