While I like technology as much as the next guy and think robots could be cool, the use of some of these in the healthcare are still too creepy.  Back in 2005, I saw one of these for the first time as a demo with the physician speaking to a mock patient and was just really weird.  In the current era of healthcare where the majority of patient population grew up without technology I don’t see how these will be accepted in the hospital setting.
