The EFN and AUVB, EFN Belgium member, met the Software company who assembles ZORA for Europe. Zora is mainly meant to keep the elderly active and provide basic information to costumers in different sectors. However, new developments are underway to focus more on the health sector and as such nurses are part of its design. Including a gender perspective in the design of robots and Artificial Intelligence is key to make tools fit for purpose. As such we can move on the political discussions: robots support nurses and bring nurses closer to the patient! Isn’t that fantastic!
