Capstone Project Statement of Intent

• The goal of my project is to help people understand that robots are a necessity in the nursing work force and convince them to have more robot nurses work in hospitals. I will also try to help people feel comfortable with the idea of being cared for by a robot. If robots are approved for human care, then it will allow nurses to work less, reduce stress, and provide more accurate healthcare.
• It's important because our population is on the rise and there are not enough nurses to take care of all our patients, so they are making more mistakes that lead to deaths. Why are they making more mistakes? Because they are being overworked, underpaid, and have high stress levels.
• The goal of making people more comfortable with the idea of robots will allow hospitals to implement more robots without worrying about a decreased amount of patients; therefore, I will have improved the nursing career by allowing patients to accept robot care. I have already talked to several nurses and all of them believe that robots would be highly beneficial and approve of them. Most people are worried that robots will take away their jobs, but this isn't true because you can not program a robot to recognize human feelings and nor could robots comfort the patient. 
• It gives back to society by allowing hospitals to use more robotic nurses because they won't have to worry about patients leaving their care due to insecurity in robotic technology. So nurses will make less mistakes, reduce stress levels, and stop overworking. It will improve healthcare overall.
