Article Abstract
Background: Globally, the rates at which the aging population and the prevalence of chronic diseases are increasing are substantial. With declining birth rates and a growing percentage of older individuals, the demand for nursing staff is steadily rising. However, the shortage of nursing personnel has been a long-standing issue. In recent years, numerous researchers have advocated for the implementation of nursing robots as a substitute for traditional human labor.
Objective: This study analyzes hospital visitors' attitudes and priorities regarding the functional areas of artificial intelligence (AI) nursing robots based on the Kano model. Building on this analysis, recommendations are provided for the functional optimization of AI nursing robots, aiming to facilitate their adoption in the nursing field.
Methods: Using a random sampling method, 457 hospital visitors were surveyed between December 2023 and March 2024 to compare the differences in demand for AI nursing robot functionalities among the visitors.
Results: A comparative analysis of the Kano attribute quadrant diagrams showed that visitors seeking hospitalization prioritized functional aspects that enhance medical activities. In contrast, visitors attending outpatient examinations focused more on functional points that assist in medical treatment. Additionally, visitors whose purpose was companionship and care emphasized functional aspects that offer psychological and life support to patients.
Conclusions: AI nursing robots serve various functional areas and cater to diverse audience groups. In the future, it is essential to thoroughly consider users' functional needs and implement targeted functional developments to maximize the effectiveness of AI nursing robots.

Background: Socially assistive robots (SARs) are robotic technology platforms equipped with sensing (eg, through audio or visual) and acting (eg, speech and movement) capabilities to interact socially with users. SARs are increasingly adopted in physiotherapy to aid patients in their rehabilitation journey by providing feedback, motivation, and encouragement. However, while many studies have explored SAR implementation in physiotherapy, research involving clinical populations remains scarce, and the overall state of SAR deployment is unclear.

Background: Lower back pain (LBP) is one of the most common occupational health issues among healthcare professionals, particularly in long-term care settings. The HAL® Lumbar Type Exoskeleton is a wearable assistive technology designed to reduce strain on the lower back during physically demanding care activities. However, evidence regarding its feasibility, usability, and acceptance in real-world long-term care settings remains limited.
