Shaping tomorrow’s care: integrating Lio into nursing education

MHH

At the Hannover Medical School (MHH), Lio is used as an innovative training tool for nursing students and healthcare trainees. The robot supports hands-on education by simulating everyday care tasks — from delivering materials to practicing patient interaction. In guided workshops, students engage directly with Lio to explore real-world scenarios and critically assess how assistive robotics can improve clinical workflows. This integration of robotics into the curriculum empowers future nurses to actively reflect on technological possibilities and limitations, fostering a deeper understanding of the ethical, practical and organisational implications of automation in care.

 Here at MHH, Lio provides our nursing students invaluable hands-on experience with assistive robotics. By engaging directly with the robot in simulated care scenarios, they develop critical insights into how technology can enhance patient support, streamline workflows, and address ethical considerations.
