The machines in homes can be made more personal than those in hospital. An elderly person may be looked after by a robotic pet, while believing that they are in fact looking after the pet. Such a robot may monitor physiological characteristics of the person, or analyse daily routines, or how often medication is taken. They may alert the person or signal others outside the home if such monitoring detects an abnormal or unusual pattern of behaviour. I don't mind if my mother-in-law is looked after by a robot; my wife has a slightly different view! The technology is arriving before people are comfortable with its uses. As attitudes change, more will be done by robotic healthcare solutions.
