The partnership between Idiap and F&P Robotics is pioneering the integration of advanced conversational AI into Lio, an assistive healthcare robot, through two innovative projects. The LioGPT project leverages large language models for natural voice interactions, aiming to significantly improve patient engagement through nuanced dialogues tailored to individual needs and preferences.
As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, the pronounced workforce shortages in healthcare became glaringly apparent to the public. In response, it is increasingly clear that mobile robots are emerging as indispensable tools in the future. However, what exactly are these applications to tackle healthcare challenges? Moreover, beyond workforce shortages, what are the key challenges faced by healthcare facilities today? How can your research initiatives translate into valuable applications and solutions for real-world healthcare issues?
Join us and our guest speakers from Swiss healthcare institution @Zihlschlacht and top research institutions @IDIAP as we showcase how mobile robots can guide R&D professionals in addressing real-world healthcare challenges. Discover the powerful synergy between Research & Development and the Healthcare industry in this engaging webinar.
Time: 15:00 – 16:00 pm, November 23 (Thursday), 2023
