Maybe it's my inner nerd that can't resist learning about robots.  Plus, when a trusted friend told me that Diligent Robotics was on to something special with robots in healthcare, I knew I had to make time to talk with Andrea Thomaz, CEO and Co-Founder of Diligent Robotics.  I'm happy to say that I wasn't disappointed when I learned about their humanoid robot, Moxi, and how the robot is improving healthcare.

In our interview with Thomaz, she shares some of the misconceptions that people have about robotics in healthcare.  Then, we ask about the problems that their robot, Moxi solves in healthcare and how it's able to accomplish them.  For example, Moxi can transport items around the hospital saving nurses and other allied staff time walking around the hospital.  That includes Moxi being able to navigate elevators and open doors.  Two things that are really only possible because it's a humanoid robot.
