Advancements in technology have made it easier to create robots for use in healthcare. As Bill Gates said, the robotics industry is advancing as fast as computers 30 years ago. Studies indicate that investments in robots for health vary according to different reports, but the sums are around 40 million euros in 2009 (Healthcare, the road to robotic helpers, 2009), estimates indicate that the sum could reaching $4 trillion in 2015. (Health Care Market Place Project, 2007) Robotics offers many health benefits, including accuracy, precision (European Commission, 2008), faster recovery time and a minimally invasive approach, which directly benefited doctors and patients. The use of robotics makes it possible to create new technologies in the future. (Dr Quesada Ramirez, 2010)However, doctors and specialists are also concerned about the use of robotics for healthcare due to the decrease in human intervention in procedures and care (University of the West of England , 2010), as well as security. of patients and the high cost of technologies that can only be used in developed countries. The decrease in human intervention makes new generations of doctors dependent on technology and do not have skills in open techniques, which has also led to a growing gap in the doctor-patient relationship or in the family-family relationship. seniors if we refer to automated care of the elderly. (Dr. Quesada Ramírez, 2010).B. The IT context of the problemIn May 2010, the Kompai robot created by Robosoft will be tested by seniors in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands as part of a project aimed at improving the quality of life of older people (University of West of England, 2010).Kompai is designed to respond to the older adult's vocal stimulus when asked to perform...... middle of paper ......ow Classroom Video Conferencing Works" , May 28, 2008, HowStuffWorks, May 27, 2010, Miskelly, Frank G., “Assistive technology in aged care”, 2001, British Geriatrics Society, May 18, 2010, Robosoft, “Kompai, Develop your own robot companion ", 2010, Robosoft Advanced Robotic Solutions, May 22, 2010, Sharma, Prashant, "Basic Facts About WiFi and Its Advancements", December 2, 2008, TechPluto, May 19, 2010, University of the West of England, "Robots and could smart devices help older people take care of themselves”, March 26, 2010, Science Daily, 27 May? 2010,
