Physicians at the Mayo Clinic are studying a robot intended to provide AI-powered massages. The robot is designed to give a type of deep tissue massage to patients with chronic lower back pain to help offer pain relief and relaxation. This innovative technology utilizes AI algorithms, advanced sensors, and software to assess a patient's needs, allowing for personalized treatments. If the study turns out positive, Mayo Clinic physicians aim to offer this robotic technology to patients in the near future to create consistent, low-cost massage treatments and improve patient care and wellbeing.
