A rapidly graying population will bring a lot of strain to the care industry, where nurses will have a hard time keeping up with the extra pressure. In this project, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and carried out by a consortium of research institutes and private companies, I was tasked with analyzing the user needs of nurses and care receivers, and to identify use cases for which remotely operated robots could lend a helping hand as an alternative to the shortage of workforce.
