Hej Medical Robot
In the sphere of mental healthcare, where empathy and understanding are paramount, the innovative Hej Medical Robot emerges as a transformative solution. Unlike traditional approaches to diagnosis and treatment, Hej revolutionizes psychiatric ward care by seamlessly integrating advanced technology with compassionate patient interaction.
At the heart of Hej’s mission is the recognition that mental illness diagnosis and treatment require a deep connection with patients, understanding their emotions and situations. This philosophy underscores the importance of maintaining one’s own mental well-being to effectively care for others—a principle embodied by Hej.
Psychiatric ward nurses often find themselves overwhelmed by administrative tasks, leaving little time for self-care. Hej steps in to alleviate this burden by assuming the responsibilities of real-time charting and other logistical duties, affording nurses the opportunity to recharge and focus on patient care.
Rather than introducing additional robotics to an already complex environment, Hej seamlessly integrates into existing infrastructure by replacing conventional medical carts. Equipped to carry essential instruments and medications, Hej also addresses safety concerns by offering wireless charging capabilities for cell phones, eliminating the risk of self-harm posed by charger cables.
Central to Hej’s functionality is the DAR Charting system, which emphasizes objective observation and documentation of patient needs and behaviors. Leveraging AI deep learning technology, Hej autonomously generates and records charts, accurately capturing vital information without subjective interpretation.
Hej’s TrueDepth cameras enable comprehensive environmental monitoring, facilitating rapid recognition and analysis of patient behaviors. Advanced algorithms distinguish between individuals, ensuring precise charting and intervention when necessary. An intuitive display interface allows nurses to input additional information promptly, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
Hej employs behavioral prediction algorithms to alert caregivers to imminent “act-outs,” enabling preemptive intervention. This collaborative approach to data analysis ensures continuous improvement and faster learning across Hej systems worldwide.
In the event of an emergency, Hej features a secure emergency stop mechanism designed to prevent patient interference while allowing immediate staff intervention. Accessible only to authorized medical personnel via a card key system, Hej can be halted swiftly and safely, prioritizing patient and staff well-being.
The creation of Hej represents a collaborative effort, spearheaded by designer Woojin Jang dedicated to enhancing psychiatric ward care through innovation and compassion.
