The Growing Demand for Robotics in Healthcare
Healthcare systems worldwide are facing increasing pressure. From manpower shortages to rising patient expectations, hospitals today must do more with less. In Singapore, where healthcare standards are among the highest, the push towards automation and digital transformation is accelerating.
This is where robotics in healthcare plays a critical role—helping hospitals improve efficiency, enhance patient care, and reduce repetitive workloads for medical staff.
In February 2026, 365Robot Pte Ltd had the opportunity to bring these solutions into a real-world setting.
365Robot Invited to a Hospital Innovation and Improvement Festival
365Robot was honoured to be invited by the Department of Business Continuity Planning from a Singapore hospital to participate in their Innovation and Improvement Festival.
This event brought together:
- Hospital staff
- Nurses
- Internal stakeholders
The goal was simple:
– Explore practical solutions that can improve daily hospital operations.
Rather than just presenting ideas, 365Robot delivered a live, interactive showcase of healthcare robotics in action.
Robot Solutions Showcased by 365Robot
To demonstrate how hospital robots can be integrated into real environments, 365Robot introduced three key robotic solutions.
The 365ProBot was deployed to cruise around the event, serving snacks and drinks to visitors—simulating real hospital delivery scenarios.
How it applies to healthcare:
- Food delivery to wards
- Medication transport
- Contactless service
Key Features:
- Autonomous Navigation across wards and departments
- 60kg Payload for meals, medication, and supplies
- Touchscreen Interface for easy interaction
- Voice Interaction for hands-free use
- Secure Storage with covered compartments
With a full cover option, the robot ensures food hygiene and safety, making it suitable for hospital environments.
The 365NovaBot showcased how a healthcare service robot can support front desk and patient engagement tasks.
Live functions demonstrated:
- Guest check-in notifications
- Hospital information display
- Patient education video playback
- Navigation assistance
- Interactive photo-taking experience
Key Features:
- Human-Following Screen for dynamic engagement
- Compact Design for tight hospital spaces
- Flexible Integration with software systems
This robot highlighted how hospitals can automate repetitive communication tasks while improving patient engagement.
The 365ABot-L600 demonstrated high-capacity logistics automation within hospital environments.
Use in healthcare:
- Transport linen
- Move food warmers
- Deliver bulk supplies
Key Features:
- Up to 600kg Load Capacity
- Stable Delivery
- Centimetre-Level Positioning Accuracy
- Seamless Integration with elevators and doors
This robot significantly reduces manual labour for heavy transport tasks.
How Robotics is Transforming Healthcare Operations
The showcase clearly demonstrated how robotics in healthcare delivers real operational value.
Operational Efficiency
- Automates repetitive tasks
- Reduces dependency on manual labour
- Ensures consistent delivery performance
Support for Healthcare Workers
- Frees up nurses’ time
- Reduces burnout from routine tasks
- Allows focus on patient care
Hygiene & Safety
- Secure transport of food and medication
- Minimises human contact
- Reduces cross-contamination risks
Improved Patient Experience
- Faster, more reliable service
- Interactive and engaging environment
- Modern, tech-enabled care delivery
Real Interaction & Event Highlights
One of the most valuable outcomes of the event was direct feedback from healthcare professionals.
Healthcare staff were particularly interested in how the 365NovaBot could assist with patient education.
Nurses often need to repeatedly explain:
- Post-surgery care
- Discharge instructions
- Safety precautions
With robotics:
- The robot can move ward-to-ward
- Play standardised educational videos
- Ensure consistent patient understanding
Result: Significant reduction in repetitive workload, allowing nurses to focus on higher-value tasks.
Interactive Engagement
Many visitors were also impressed by the robot’s photo-taking feature.
365Robot developed a customised photo app:
- Robot acts as a photographer
- Event-branded photo frames
- Instant download to visitors’ phones
👉 This created a memorable and engaging experience for attendees.

Real Use Cases of Robotics in Healthcare
Beyond the event, these solutions are already being used in real hospital environments.
Secure Lab Sample Delivery
Hospitals in Singapore are using 365ProBot for transporting lab samples:
- Full cover protection
- Passcode-locked compartments
- Safe and secure delivery
Patient Education with Robotics
The 365NovaBot is also used for:
- Delivering educational videos to patients
- Supporting post-surgery recovery guidance
- Enhancing patient understanding
This is especially useful for elderly patients, ensuring information is:
- Clear
- Consistent
- Easy to follow
