Abstract

Current forms of health technology literacies fail to fully address the multifaceted nature of care robot literacy (CRL). As an occupational asset for healthcare practitioners, CRL involves the ability to use and interact with mobile, artificially intelligent (AI) -driven mechatronic devices within the working environment. A variety of new generation technologies are introduced in healthcare. However, occupational and ethical standards need to be in line with utilization of any novel technologies. Based on a synthesis on existing literature, this poster will discuss the socio-temporal preconditions and further steps to develop CRL among healthcare practitioners.
