"It's all about efficiency. We cannot touch the patient and shake their hand, but our patients have got on board and are very satisfied. We can see a patient being examined by another doctor and take our visual cues from that."

Normally, those patients who do not need resuscitation, and are not sent to the main emergency department, can wait up to three hours to be seen by a senior doctor after they are triaged and assessed. But Dr Lucy cuts out this delay.

"It leads the patient to therapy quicker. In cases of acute appendicitis we can get them up to theatre earlier and discharged within 24 hours. That frees up two bed days."






Dr Lucy costs around €2,600 and is low maintenance, apart from requiring a full battery to keep up her energy levels. She has already paid for herself within a few weeks, thanks to her work rate.

Can they make a Luas driver? I mean they're halfway there with the name already...

I'm sorry but this is insane. A doctor needs to see a patient, not talk to them or examine them through a 3 or 5 megapixel face-time camera.

It opens up world class medical care to the world. Or at the very least could open up advanced medical care to places that can't afford it. Although I'm sure for the most part it will be used to make medical care that people in the western world can already afford more affordable.

I'd rather put my life in the hands of a completely automated AI driven robot than one controlled by some guy on the other side of the planet.

it will be like robot wars when it stops to have a chat with the drunks and junkies in a&e

You do of course realise this is a piece of surgical equipment that the doctor sits beside and operates with. It's just a tool, not an automated surgical robot.

I would agree with you. But there is a massive shortage of Doctors in this country. The Government havent made any serious attempts to increase Doctor numbers in the country. Why not use a computer which is a complement to Doctors? There will be no human error and it will save the tax payer money.

These computers are already the norm in the US. These computers can keep up with medical changes, that human Doctors cant keep up with. They can suggest tests that Humans would never think about

Imagine applying big data to this. If you went to a robo Doctor with what you thought was a common cold. But the robo Doctor could see that in the area, there was an outbreak of swine flu and that the Doctor should do a test for that. The fact is data can track illnesses far better than any Doctor. The CDC uses google trends to track outbreaks of flu within US

It would endlessly try to install Windows 10 into the patient, like a demented Cyberman from Doctor Who.
