Moxi saved 30 percent of bedside workers’ time, and within its first 20 days at Saint Luke’s Hospital, the robot saved employees more than 315 hours of work and delivered more than 500 drugs and other supplies, according to the report. 

The device is an AI-operated robot that works outside of patients’ rooms, according to NBC affiliate KSHB

Saint Luke’s Hospital is the first hospital in Missouri and Kansas to employ this type of technology, KCTV5 reported, and the system plans to buy two more Moxi robots.
