00:00Meet Vigo, your body on wheels.

00:18Vigo is a new generation communication robot that let people work even if they're thousands

00:23of miles away from their workplace through telepresence.

00:27It was introduced in the UAE by Amana Healthcare, which runs medical and rehabilitation hospitals

00:33in Al Ain and Abu Dhabi.

00:35Patient monitoring is one of many ways Vigo is being used by healthcare organizations

00:40to overcome resource issues.

00:42Remote visiting for the growing elder care market and medical staff training at a distance

00:47or other popular applications.

00:49There's a lot of different things that we will be able to use Vigo for here in Amana.

00:53For example, a lot of our patients, adults and pediatrics, have got long-term debilitative

00:57diseases.

00:58They're not as mobile or as active as they would like to be.

01:00Sometimes the families are based in Dubai or in Abu Dhabi and they can't always be here

01:04on the facility.

01:05So we can give those families access to Vigo so that if you've got something important

01:09that they want to discuss.

01:10Standing five feet tall and 13 inches wide, the little fellow works on Wi-Fi and broadband

01:16networks and has a high-resolution camera.

01:19It is basically a sophisticated communication machine that allows people to move around

01:24in a workplace even if they're in a distant location.

01:27Medical professionals can therefore work with patients from around the world, lowering costs.

01:32It also provides an emotional anchor to family members who are able to be with their loved

01:36ones admitted to a faraway hospital.

01:39It is the next best thing to being in the actual workplace.

01:43It also allows us to interact with physicians with international specialties.

01:48So we've got patients who've got degenerative diseases that are quite unique to the region

01:52and we can link in with specialties across the whole world.

01:54All we need to do is give them access to our Vigo robot.

01:57They download program log on to Vigo and we can communicate with them in real time about

02:02how to interact with and manage these patients.

02:05The other thing that it will allow us to do is we're going across the spectrum of sub-acute

02:10care, long-term care and into home care.

02:13So if we've got patients who are in a home care setting and they have a concern about

02:18the care that they're receiving, they can link in to us either through our Vigo robot

02:22here to communicate to us or we can have a Vigo robot in their home and we can interact

02:28with them in real time regarding concerns that they have.

02:31So you can do amazing things like review medications, review wounds, etc, rather than having to

02:37send somebody to the facility, you can do it immediately if the family so wish.

02:41Vigo has not only enhanced patient-doctor interface, but is expected to be the future

02:45mode of communication in medical facilities, providing instant connectivity with medical

02:50professionals globally and helping manage hospitals better.
