BayCare and Robotics Startup Rovex Announce Strategic Partnership to Innovate In-Hospital Patient Transport

Business

BayCare Health System, the largest not-for-profit academic health care system in West Central Florida, and Rovex, a Florida-based robotics startup, today announced a strategic partnership to pilot how robotics could support hospital operations and patient transport workflows. The pilot began at BayCare’s Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Florida, this month. The engagement will begin with a phased pilot at BayCare’s Morton Plant Hospital focused on evaluating workflows, transport patterns and operational opportunities within the hospital environment, with later phases designed to support potential in-hospital robotic stretcher movement. No patients will be transported by the robot during the current pilot. For more information, visit BayCare.org.
