Capstone Project Statement of Intent

Today nurses are overworked, underpaid, and very stressed. Overworking makes them tired and stress makes them unhealthy which leads to mistakes. Nurses need more employees but the population is too small to develop enough nurses. The main solution is to introduce robotic nurses into the medical facilities in order to reduce the insane workload on nurses which will lead to less mistakes and therefore less deaths. The only problem with introducing robotic nurses into the industry is that some people are uncomfortable with the idea of robots taking care of them. I will create a survey where patients can describe what would make them feel more comfortable around robots (synthetic skin, smiling, human reactions, etc.) in order to create a robot that would be more personable with patients.
