I like their mentality of trying new tech and seeing what is effective. It seems like there are many opportunities for robots to bring improvement to a care home but without an open mind and trail and error it will never be found.

Personally I think Sensors in beds and robots that helps assist daily tasks is the most useful as long as it's built simple and cheap to run.

I don't want to see care homes paying 10 grand for a bed that has a $2 liquid sensor in the bedpan.
