“…J. R. Wilson showed that robotic assistance in medication management tasks can be possible [4]. In 2012, C. Datta and his team, introduced an interactive robot to remind older patients about medication [5]. Suzuki and Bhuvaneswari along with their teams have researched two types of intelligence to assist elderly persons for medication and health care [6][7].…”

“…In 2011, RoboGen, a web-based application, with enabled end-user programming, was designed by a team of health informatics and electrical and computer engineering researchers at the University of Auckland ( Figure 1 ) ( Datta et al, 2011 ). RoboGen was designed to be used by healthcare professionals as a medication management support system on a healthcare/social robot for residents in a retirement village ( Datta et al, 2011 , 2012 ; Broadbent et al, 2014 ). Field studies suggested that a robotic platform offered opportunities that were not possible with other medication management systems, and end-user programming allowed health professionals to manage medication instructions, dosing schedules, health education, appointment and refill reminders ( Datta et al, 2011 ).…”

Purpose: This research aimed to evaluate medication software for a healthcare robot. Study I compared two software versions (RoboGen and RoboGen2) for system usability, speed and accuracy of medication entry; Study II evaluated system usability and community pharmacists’ views of RoboGen2.Methods: Study I had a within-subjects experimental design and recruited 40 Health Sciences students to enter different, comparable sets of prescriptions into the two systems, in randomized order, within a limit of 15 min. Screen activity was recorded to observe prescription errors. Study II had a cross-sectional observational design and recruited 20 community pharmacists using convenience sampling. Pharmacists entered three prescriptions using RoboGen2. Participants in both studies completed the System Usability Scale (SUS) following each task. Study I participants completed a questionnaire on system preference, and Study II participants a semi-structured interview.Results: Study I participants preferred Robogen2 (p < 0.001) due to its sleek and modern layout, good flow, ease of use, and intuitive design. SUS scores [t (40) = −3.40, p = 0.002] and speed of medication entry favored Robogen2 (t = 3.65, p < 0.001). No significance was found in accuracy (t = 1.12, p = 0.27). In study 2, pharmacists rated the usability of RoboGen2 below average. Themes from interviews were navigation and streamlining the system, ease of use, and integration with pharmacy software systems.Conclusion: Adding safety features and better aesthetics can improve the usability and safety of a medication prescription system. Streamlining workflow and pre-populating data can increase speed of prescription entry without compromising patient safety. However, a better approach is integration with pre-existing pharmacy systems to reduce workload while incorporating safety features built into existing dispensing systems.
