“… 44 One clinic has even incorporated telehealth robots for in‐person appointments to minimize the spread of COVID‐19 among liver transplant patients, and reports confidence in this approach. 45 Telehealth could thus offer a range of benefits for the transplant community, particularly via the reduction of transmission rates, patient burden, and cost. Given these potential benefits and the promising feasibility of telehealth, it is possible that these shifts precipitated by the COVID‐19 pandemic will be everlasting for the transplant community.…”

Background Since the start of the COVID‐19 pandemic and consequent lockdowns, the use of telehealth interventions has rapidly increased both in the general population and among transplant recipients. Among pediatric transplant recipients, this most frequently takes the form of interventions on mobile devices, or mHealth, such as remote visits via video chat or phone, phone‐based monitoring, and mobile apps. Telehealth interventions may offer the opportunity to provide care that minimizes many of the barriers of in‐person care. Methods The present review followed the PRISMA guidelines. Sources up until October 2020 were initially identified through searches of PsycInfo ® and PubMed ® . Results We identified ten papers that reported findings from adult interventions and five studies based in pediatrics. Eight of the adult publications stemmed from the same two trials; within the pediatric subset, this was the case for two papers. Studies that have looked at mHealth interventions have found high acceptability rates over the short run, but there is a general lack of data on long‐term use. Conclusions The literature surrounding pediatric trials specifically is sparse with all findings referencing interventions that are in early stages of development, ranging from field tests to small feasibility trials. The lack of research highlights the need for a multi‐center RCT that utilizes robust measures of medication adherence and other outcome variables, with longer‐term follow‐up before telehealth interventions should be fully embraced.

“…One example features a telepresence robot that was used to greet patients presenting for care in a clinic in Brazil. Healthcare professionals observed that patients were particularly attentive to the robot’s instructions, and followed its advice, suggesting that patients were engaged in the interaction with the robot, had a good level of acceptance, and considered it reliable [ 59 ]. In France, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, telepresence robots, intended for the region’s high schools, have been mobilized and implemented in care homes.…”

Social isolation is a common phenomenon among the elderly. Retirement, widowhood, and increased prevalence of chronic diseases in this age group lead to a decline in social relationships, which in turn has adverse consequences on health and well-being. The coronavirus COVID-19 crisis worsened this situation, raising interest for mobile telepresence robots (MTR) that would help create, maintain, and strengthen social relationships. MTR are tools equipped with a camera, monitor, microphone, and speaker, with a body on wheels that allows for remote-controlled and sometimes autonomous movement aiming to provide easy access to assistance and networking services. We conducted a narrative review of literature describing experimental studies of MTR involving elderly people over the last 20 years, including during the COVID-19 period. The aim of this review was to examine whether MTR use was beneficial for reducing loneliness and social isolation among older adults at home and in health and care institutions and to examine the current benefits and barriers to their use and implementation. We screened 1754 references and included 24 research papers focusing on the usability, acceptability, and effectiveness of MTR. News reports on MTR use during the COVID-19 period were also examined. A qualitative, multidimensional analysis methodology inspired by a health technology assessment model was used to identify facilitating and limiting factors and investigate if and how MTR could reduce social isolation in elderly people. Reviewed studies provide encouraging evidence that MTR have potential in this regard, as experiments report positive feedback on MTR design and core functionalities. However, our analysis also points to specific technical, ergonomic, and ethical challenges that remain to be solved, highlighting the need for further multidimensional research on the design and impact of MTR interventions for older adults and building on new insights gained during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Regarding telepresence, a robot was used with the virtual platform at a hospital in Brazil [ 48 ]. The screen allows the patient to see the nurse from the remote location, and the camera enables the nurse to see and interact with the patient efficiently.…”

Since the late 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has been spread all around the world. The pandemic is a critical challenge to the health and safety of the general public, the medical staff and the medical systems worldwide. It has been globally proposed to utilise robots during the pandemic, to improve the treatment of patients and leverage the load of the medical system. However, there is still a lack of detailed and systematic review of the robotic research for the pandemic, from the technologies’ perspective. Thus a thorough literature survey is conducted in this research and more than 280 publications have been reviewed, with the focus on robotics during the pandemic. The main contribution of this literature survey is to answer two research questions, i.e. 1) what the main research contributions are to combat the pandemic from the robotic technologies’ perspective, and 2) what the promising supporting technologies are needed during and after the pandemic to help and guide future robotics research. The current achievements of robotic technologies are reviewed and discussed in different categories, followed by the identification of the representative work’s technology readiness level. The future research trends and essential technologies are then highlighted, including artificial intelligence, 5 G, big data, wireless sensor network, and human-robot collaboration.
