nursebot
Robotic healthcare aide
A nursebot is a robot designed to assist with healthcare or caregiving tasks—monitoring patients, dispensing medication, or helping with mobility.
The term appears in science fiction and increasingly in discussions of eldercare technology: The nursebot reminded her to take her pills.
Sometimes used dismissively for impersonal or automated medical care.
