Robot in your home could free up hospital beds
Virtual consultations with a robot are being trialled at Southmead Hospital in Bristol. The aim is to get patients home from hospital earlier.
The robot is a tablet computer on wheels, plugged in and set up by hospital staff during a home visit, then operated by a doctor remotely from the hospital.
Julia is one of the patients in the trial.
