Finding ways to decrease health care cost is a real problem and an interesting political topic. While thousands are scratching their heads to determine how to reduce cost of healthcare for humans, one of our customers in Europe has already done so for livestock. Using robots to monitor and manage animal health care, vital information about feeding habits is stored and managed in an ITTIA DB SQL database embedded in the robot. Administrators analyze this data to significantly increase yields and/or reduce inputs through programmable animal feeding strategies.
The following video talks about ITTIA DB SQL and these robots:

While animal and human health care are very different in practice, can we apply the same concept and use robots to assist with our own health care to reduce costs? We already have the database for it.
