The company was founded by a group of passionate engineers who wanted to use i.4 technology to make the hospitals a better and safer place.
The name AIM (Automation In Medicine) was adopted to reflect the focus in automation in medical service products.
Our business aims to provide innovation to healthcare settings to enhance efficiency and safety for medical workers and patients. AIM was established in the UK to counter the shortage of medical staff. Through automation, healthcare staff can reduce time-costly routine tasks and focus more on patient care.
Todays healthcare system is challenged, especially during the Covid-19 storm. In UK hospitals, a hard balance is struck between economic constraints and required productivity. Medical workers and other resources are often stretched to their limits which leaves the NHS more vulnerable with the rising demand for care.
Therefore why not harness smart technology?
Automated robotics are already applied and established in other industry sectors. With robotics in use, clinicians and hospital staff are relieved from routine tasks and can focus on more on pressing responsibility and patient care.
AIM brings to you a series of solutions that enhances efficiency and safety within your hospital.
Workforce shortages are a crucial barrier to increase NHS capacity and are reportedly a critical reason why the Nightingale field hospitals have not been fully mobilized despite the intense pressure on health services.
From 2010 to 2018, the number of physicians working in the NHS raised by 15%, but the number of full-time equivalent nurses hardly grew at all – despite the amount of care provided by the health service growing by a third.
In 2019, the UK was under the EU-14 average in terms of the number of students graduating with a nursing qualification per 100,000 population. There is still an increasing trend in workforce shortages every year. As demand for NHS care continues to expand further with an aging population with more complex health conditions.
To build NHS capacity for the future and address nursing shortfall, AIM believe autonomous robotics is the answer.
