Patients at the National University Hospital (NUH) will soon be greeted by robot nurses that can guide them around the ward, deliver medicine and give instructions on how much to take.

The robot nurses will also monitor patients’ condition from time to time, easing the load on human nurses and allowing them to focus on more complex matters.

Developed by the National University Health System (NUHS), 30 robot helpers, named Missi, will be rolled out as part of a pilot at NUH from April 2025.
