Over the past six years, my hospital in Ohio has witnessed significant technological growth. For example, floor cleaning, once performed by a manually operated machine, is now managed by self-driving automation equipped with advanced sensors and cameras. These LIDAR sensors collaborate to provide exceptional detection capabilities, skillfully avoiding obstacles like walls and pedestrians. This device not only cleans effectively, but also allows remote monitoring. Since my shifts are primarily at night, I’ve only observed the device operating during nighttime hours. I assume this scheduling is due to higher hospital traffic in daytime, which facilitates better device use for nighttime Employees must also be aware of technological investments that enhance healthcare and patient outcomes. As a respiratory therapist, I freq...
