Description
Xiuli Wu and Aimei Kang rank what heart patients want from nursing robots, in a survey from 2026. China ages fast, heart disease climbs, and wards are short of hands. Robots could ease the load, but what patients want from them was unmapped.
The study ran at a Wuhan heart hospital across a year, with 156 patients. A Kano-style form grades fifteen robot jobs: which thrill, which are mere musts, which leave users cold. Company and chat, health talks, and record care drew strong want in the part of the head shown here. The team scores each job with gain-loss weights and a four-box map. Builders, they say, should fund the jobs patients rank as gains, not the jobs that merely look new.
