\u201cSome hospitals, including a few in Indiana, already use robots for repetitive tasks, but those still require human interaction when the robots reach their destinations,\u201d said Arrive AI CEO Dan O\u2019Toole. \u201cOurs is the first to provide a universal access point where biospecimens can be securely housed until busy healthcare professionals are ready for them. At scale, our platform will generate data insights that drive even greater innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ottonomy\u2019s \u201cOttobot\u201d robots travel between Arrive Points to deliver items that would otherwise be transported by medical personnel.<\/p>\n
\u201cHospitals are huge places. Medical professionals, who would rather be delivering direct patient care, walk thousands of steps a day moving biospecimens and other items,\u201d said Ottonomy CEO Ritukar Vijay. \u201cThe combination of Arrive Points and Ottobot robots offers enormous value.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arrive AI has installed Arrive Points throughout the hospital serving the Sue Ann Wortman Cancer Center and located near the laboratory and surgical center. Each is about one-eighth of a mile from nurses\u2019 stations. When lab specimens are ready for transport, staff place them in the nearest Arrive Point. The unit signals an Ottobot, which retrieves the items and delivers them to the designated Arrive Point. Medical staff are alerted that a delivery is waiting, and items remain at the proper temperature until authorized staff retrieve them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe asynchronous pickup and delivery with secure chain-of-custody is a huge boost to clinicians\u2019 valuable time,\u201d Vijay added. \u201cThis is the world\u2019s first unattended pickup and drop-off by robots in healthcare. It\u2019s game changing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steve Long, president and CEO of Hancock Health, said his team is always looking for ways to improve efficiencies and found the Arrive AI solution especially compelling.<\/p>\n
\u201cPatient care is our top priority and introducing Arrive AI into our facility helps ensure our providers can maximize one-on-one time with their patients,\u201d said Long. \u201cWhether through the latest surgical innovations or robotics, Hancock Health is committed to staying at the forefront of healthcare technology to provide the best care for East Central Indiana.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara Quakenbush, a medical assistant at the Cancer Center, said she often spends at least 90 minutes a day walking specimens between the Cancer Center and hospital lab. She makes an estimated 10 to 15 such trips daily. Using the Arrive Points and Ottobot system cuts that time away from patients at least in half, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery minute spent delivering samples is a minute not spent with patients,\u201d Quakenbush said. \u201cHaving the robots handle those deliveries is going to save us so much time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Long noted that performance indicators make it likely Hancock Health will expand the technology across its broader network of more than 30 locations in East Central Indiana.<\/p>\n
The multi-phase rollout with Arrive AI and Ottonomy is designed to showcase how asynchronous automation can transform healthcare operations.<\/p>\n
Arrive AI plans to leverage insights from Hancock Health to build a scalable framework integrating ground robotics, courier networks, and drones across its entire system. The company will lead design, deployment and optimization of this integrated network while ensuring regulatory compliance, operational feasibility and validated return on investment.<\/p>\n
