Company mission

To create robot assistants that help healthcare workers with routine tasks so they can focus on what they do best: patient care.

Our take

Healthcare workers do everything they can to provide high-quality care to patients, but the high-pressure work environment can make this difficult. Whilst in-person care is their most important job, different scenarios will require workers to constantly fetch different medical items for patients, increasing job pressure and restricting the time workers have to spend with patients.

Diligent Robotics develops AI-powered robots for patient care teams called Moxi that can fetch, store, and deliver items needed within healthcare facilities. The robots have specialized storage compartments for sensitive medical materials and can safely navigate through elevators, security doors, automatic doors, and other existing infrastructure.

Whilst AI is becoming more prevalent in the healthcare industry, Diligent Robotics has taken a bold move to develop AI-driven robots that tackle the constant frustrations of item fetching that workers face, allowing them to focus more on providing in-person care to patients.
