Robot Utilization for Nursing Technical Support Emphasizing Nurse-Patient Synchronization

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2018:250:139.

Abstract

Handing down nursing skills of experienced nurses to newcomer nurses is difficult. Kawano's earlier studies have specifically examined brain wave synchronization between a nurse and patient during intravenous injection. Presumably, a good technique can be provided by inducing their synchronization. Preliminarily, we verified the use of a robot to generate mutual synchronization phenomena.

Keywords: nursing skills; robot; synchronization.
