Caregiving Automation involves the use of assistive robots to support people with daily activities, health monitoring, and companionship. These robots can help with tasks such as mobility assistance, medication reminders, lifting or transferring patients, and even social interaction. By supplementing human caregivers, robotic solutions help address caregiver shortages, reduce physical strain, and promote greater independence and well-being for people across the care ecosystem. Computing, communication, AI, and data standards are central to this agenda, as are ethical, psychological, and equity considerations that ensure these technologies are safe, inclusive, and trustworthy.
