Lutheran Homes Barossa and Omni-Health Partner to Explore the Future of Robotics in Aged Care
Lutheran Homes & Omni-Health: Robotics in Aged Care exemplifies this forward-thinking approach, showcasing how advanced automation revolutionises care and support for elderly residents.
Recognizing the potential to enhance resident well-being and staff efficiency, CEO Lee Martin spearheaded the “Robotics in Aged Care” event to introduce the transformative benefits and set a new standard for the industry.
The event was unveiled by key figures from the South Australian government: Chris Picton, the Health and Wellbeing Minister, and Nat Cook, the Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well.
Leveraging Omni-Health’s extensive expertise in healthcare automation across the Asia-Pacific region and its focus on integrating AI and robotics into various industries, the company’s new South Australian base collaborated with Lutheran Home Barossa to establish a Centre of Excellence.
In partnership with MAITs, led by Dr Edward (Ted) Mah and Mario Andreacchio, Omni-Health commenced the event by presenting temi, the personal robot assistant.
Temi captivated guests with a personalized tour of the facility, highlighting the capability of mobile robots to deliver real-world solutions and companionship to residents and staff.
Omni-Health also presented a cleaning robot, revealing how robotics can streamline daily tasks for the home staff.
Mr. Martin led a closing roundtable discussion, joined by CEIH members. Practical applications of AI and robotics technology in supporting healthy ageing, empowering caregivers, and enhancing care for older adults were analyzed.
The Commission on Excellence and Innovation in Health (CEIH) provides expert advice and guidance to South Australia Health and the government on improving healthcare and patient outcomes through clinical excellence and innovation.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in robotics integration into aged care, demonstrating the tangible benefits technology can bring to enhance resident well-being and support care providers.
