WHILL has introduced the WHILL autonomous driving service to Shimane University Hospital. By using this service to transport patients between the orthopedic ward and the rehabilitation room, it ensures a safe and comfortable transportation environment while reducing the burden on medical personnel and improving work efficiency.
Shimane University Hospital is promoting work efficiency by promoting medical DX. As part of this, it has adopted the WHILL autonomous driving service.
Japan’s aging rate is 29.1%, and is increasing year by year. Medical institutions are required to maintain the medical system amid a labor shortage. This is especially serious in regional medical institutions. Currently, when patients move around within a medical institution in a wheelchair or on foot, medical staff often accompany them, which places a burden on medical staff.
