The white-colored humanoid “Garmi” does not look much different from a typical robot — it stands on a platform with wheels, and is equipped with a black screen on which two blue circles acting as eyes are attached.
But retired German doctor Guenter Steinebach, 78, said: “For me, this robot is a dream.” Not only is Garmi able to perform diagnostics on patients, it can also provide care and treatment for them. Or at least, that is the plan.
Garmi is a product of a new sector called geriatronics, a discipline that taps advanced technologies like robotics, IT and 3D technology for geriatrics, gerontology and nursing. About a dozen scientists built Garmi with the help of medical practitioners like Steinebach at the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence. Part of the Technical University of Munich, the institute based its unit specializing in geriatronics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a ski resort that is home to one of the highest proportion of elderly people in Germany.
Europe’s most populous country is itself one of the world’s most rapidly aging societies. With the number of people needing care growing quickly and an estimated 670,000 carer posts to go unfilled in Germany by 2050, the researchers are racing to conceive robots that can take over some of the tasks carried out today by nurses, carers and doctors.
“We have ATMs where we can get cash today. We can imagine that one day, based on the same model, people can come to get their medical examination in a kind of technology hub,” said Abdeldjallil Naceri, 43, the lead scientist of the lab. …

I am a Luddite. Not guilty of the tech fetishism rampant in this corrupt society.
Why don’t they invite their hero Saint George Washington Zelensky to lay his holy hands on the German elderly. His saintliness would cure them in an instant.
This is what socialism and “free” healthcare gets you.
Big Hero 6 was fu
… as a movie
I want a robot that gives massages without dismembering me.
Lovely. /s
“We can imagine that one day, based on the same model, people can come to get their medical examination in a kind of technology hub,”
My physiology prof predicted essentially the same thing in 1969. His concept was of a vending machine-type device that would analyze fluids, etc, run diagnostics, and issue prescriptions (or even meds) along with health advice.
So after all the migrants poured into Germany, now there are no health care workers. Diversity wins again. Not.
Why are some people compelled to bring up that man’s name in every post that isn’t about him?
Open the closet door, Hal. Hal, I’m stuck in the closet and it locked somehow. Hal!!
I’m 78, on Medicare of course. Given the execrable health care I get from humans, I’d welcome this robot.

Well, Germany could afford human health care workers if they were not throwing their economy down the toilet for the Ukraine and Saint George Washington Zelensky. Hell, Germany might be able to afford real people to take care of their elderly if they didn't allow the United States blow up the Nordstream pipeline which gave them cheaper energy then they can get from American LNG. Germany is full of bend-over, candy-arsed cucks.
Fixed it for you ;)
How long until Larry Niven’s autodoc?
I’m younger but I agree the state of healthcare in this country is awful.
How good are they at wiping asses?
No doubt the unvaccinated elderly will be automatically vax’d right at the start, even at e.g. a routine checkup with no illness noted.
