Making robots to enhance healthcare

Innovative Danish company Blue Ocean Robotics believes in “Robots for Humans”. The company develops service robots to help improve efficiency of workflow, enhance quality of care and reduce healthcare costs. It is the first of its kind in the world – a robot venture factory.

Each of the company’s three robots currently available on the market – UVD Robot®, GoBe Robot®, and PTR Robot® – is set up in its own subsidiary, a venture capital company focused on commercialization, global distribution and growth.

Three robots
The three robots help healthcare institutions to improve efficiency of workflow and protect patients and caregivers.

The UVD Robot is a fully autonomous disinfection robot that reduces the risk of Healthcare Associated Infections. It kills more than 99.99% pathogens including SARS-CoV-2 within minutes.

The UVD Robot uses concentrated germicidal UV-C light to destroy bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microbes, including SARS-CoV-2, on surfaces and in the air. It autonomously disinfects patient waiting rooms, wards, operating theatres and clinics.

With its pioneering technology, this iF Design Award-winning robot can navigate safely by itself while ensuring all relevant and contaminated surfaces are exposed with the right amount of UV-C light. The Danish invention is the only autonomous
UV-C system in the world which disinfects the environment without putting caregivers at risk.

The GoBe Robot is a remote-controlled telepresence robot enabling doctors, specialists and other healthcare professionals to visit patients from remote locations. The robot has been greatly appreciated, especially during the pandemic, by helping people stay connected, without engaging in physical interactions, thereby minimising the risk of spreading infections.

The PTR Robot is a patient transfer and rehabilitation solution that can flexibly move around at hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and nursing homes. It helps individuals with impaired functions to be transferred and rehabilitated and relieves the strain on staff, releasing them from labour-intensive tasks, thus helping to optimize human resources. In addition, the PTR Robot lowers the risk of infection, because only one caregiver needs to be present to perform a patient transfer.

With the PTR Robot, patient transfer and rehabilitation become easier, more efficient and of higher quality for both patients and caregivers. By moving from passive patient lifts to active and sensing patient lifts, the patient rehabilitation is able to start much sooner.

Making our world more sustainable
“At Blue Ocean Robotics we embrace our vision to create Robots for Humans. Our approach is to leverage robotic technology to meet customer needs based on a profound understanding of our customers. With a presence in more than 70 countries, we strive to connect and partner with people and organisations every where to offer our service robots to benefit more healthcare organizations all over the world,” says Claus Risager, CEO, Blue Ocean Robotics.

People use our robots to make their way of work more meaningful, rewarding and healthier. We improve quality-of- life and productivity. We make robots for humans.
