1H3-7　An Ecological Approach to an Intelligent Healthscape for a Medical Service Robot

Abstract

Integrated Nursing Care Service has been conducted in Korea since 2013, and there are several suggestions to enhance the medical staff's efficiency. This research aims to develop a model of intelligent healthscape to delineate ecological constraints of robotic environment. A qualitative study was implemented and video analyses were conducted. To support the main theme, we interpreted environmental elements as smart servicescape we developed. Given that a medical robot service is implemented in complex adaptive systems having diversified contextual and environmental factors of medical services, this ecological approach would be appropriate for understanding medical service experiences. Consequently, the intelligent healthscape from an ecological perspective could be applied to develop a design framework for new medical services.

“…Long-distance remote sensing observation is also a feasible method [3,4] , but compared with short-distance observation, this method has low resolution, that leads to lack of information, and its observation ability can not meet all requirements. The mobile robot can be used as an intelligent mobile platform that can carry various sensors to enter the unknown target area for detailed observation [5,6] . At the same time, it has the characteristics of large range of motion and high flexibility, which brings great convenience to observers.…”
