In the fast-paced world of healthcare, innovative automation is reshaping how nurses deliver care. Robots for Hospitality—originally designed for hotels and guest services—are now proving to be valuable assets in hospitals and senior living. Let’s explore how these robots ease nursing workloads while elevating patient outcomes.


Robots Bridging Hospitality and Healthcare


HelloGard leads the way by adapting its hospitality-grade robotic solutions for healthcare and eldercare—including the advanced vCare Companion, which supports clinical staff by monitoring vitals, managing documentation, and facilitating communication.

This convergence of industries shows how robots for hospitality can deliver both efficiency and empathy in care environments.


Key Benefits of These Robots for Nurses


  • Easing Nursing Burden

The vCare Companion empowers clinical staff by automating routine tasks—from pulse oximetry to dictation—freeing nurses to focus on direct patient care. 

  • Enhanced Monitoring and Safety

Equipped with sensors and AI, these robots continuously track patient vitals, providing proactive alerts and aiding timely decisions. 

  • Reducing Isolation in Senior Living

In senior communities, robots serve as companions and helpers, offering emotional support and assistance with daily needs. This not only enriches residents’ quality of life but also gives caregivers more time for personal care. 


Types of robots that can be interactive in the hospitals


  • Robots for Senior Care 

    The temi V3 or Keenon T9 provides companionship, medication reminders, and fall detection, helping seniors and reducing caregiver strain.


  • Hospitality Robots

    Originally built for delivering food or luggage in hotels, these bots, like the Keenon W3 series, are now adapted to hospital needs. 


  • Interactive Robots

    The temi V3 is designed with autonomous navigation to guide guests, these robots are prime candidates for hospital wayfinding or visitor assistance.


  • Delivery robots

    Models such as Keenon T9 and Ottobot can transport medications, meals, and supplies autonomously—minimizing delays and physical strain on staff.


Advantages for Clinical Workflows


  1. Improved Time Management Nurses spend less time on administrative tasks, enabling more patient interactions.

  2. Consistent, Reliable Service Robots deliver supplies and monitor vitals with precision and no fatigue.

  3. Enhanced Safety Reduced human traffic eases infection control, while sensor-equipped bots boost environmental monitoring.

  4. Patient Satisfaction & Engagement The novelty and interaction of robots uplift patient morale and confidence.


Use Cases in Practice


  • vCare Companion in hospitals collects vital signs, manages notes, and supports telepresence, allowing nurses to focus on treatment rather than paperwork.

  • In senior living settings, delivery robots like Keenon W3 or Ottobot handle essentials such as food and medications—granting caregivers bandwidth for empathy-driven care. 

  • Robots for Senior Care also engage residents through conversation and assistance, helping reduce feelings of loneliness.
