How can robots help us feel better?  The healthcare sector is undergoing a significant transformation as diagnosis and treatment of diseases moves on at pace. 

From coping with an ageing population to a worldwide shortage of medical staff, in this episode of ABB’s The Robot Podcast we explore the cutting edge of healthcare by looking at the hospital of the future where drugs are stored and distributed and how treatment can be handled by robots. 

Fran Scott finds out how technology is making a massive difference to improve the care and treatment available to us in so many ways.

We hear from ABB’s Global Business Development Officer Robyn Cardwell, President and CEO of the Texas Medical Centre Bill McKeon and heart surgeon Professor Mark Field who tells us about a pioneering new robot that keeps patients alive when their heart stops.

Part of the ABB Decoded Series, The Robot Podcast is a Fresh Air Production by Graham Seaman and Izzie Clarke.
