Robot and AI legal framework
Published in Eduard Fosch-Villaronga, Robots, Healthcare, and the Law, 2019
Concerning care robots, Palmerini et al. (2016) conclude that while computer-integrated surgical systems could be part of a broader class of robots used in medical treatment; care robots instead, for the peculiar function they serve, do not easily allow to extend the conclusions reached, for instance with respect to long-term care insurance contracts with other kinds of robotic applications. They also refer to orthoses and prostheses. They argue that orthoses and exoskeletons serve a similar purpose as that of prostheses and may be deemed as desirable. They also believe that alternative liability standards might be extended for orthoses and exoskeletons (Palmerini et al., 2016).

For example, the vaccination management service idea in the public health examination–prevention–maintenance cell (customer: citizen, provider: public organization) involves informing people when and how to vaccinate themselves and their family based on their vaccination history data. The personalized mobile health game application service idea in the self-health management cell (citizen, private organization) aims to promote self-health management via a mobile game application based on the individual’s medical examination, diagnosis, and prescription records. The drug consumption monitoring service idea in the public health statistics information and data provision cell (private organization, public organization) aims to monitor regional drug consumption processes and to sell such monitoring information to hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutes. The medical equipment sharing service idea in the medical resource and record sharing cell (private organization, private organization) aims to share medical equipment based on the equipment use data to maximize usage and cost efficiency of the equipment. The local health statistics service idea in the health policy development support cell (government, both public and private organizations) aims to regularly review local health statistics information for local governments. The long-term care insurance management service idea in the NHIS work innovation cell aims to streamline the long-term-care insurance-related work processes inside NHIS based on the insurance data.

In the search by Igaku-Chuo-Zasshi, only original articles were extracted using the filter option. For English articles, it was performed using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science as the search databases. Search keywords in PubMed search were “self-help devices” [MeSH term] OR “accessibility, architectural” [MeSH term] OR “home care service”[MeSH term] AND Japan. In the search process using Scopus and Web of Science, keywords specified from the thesaurus of the MeSH terms were selected. Searching keywords were [“assistive devices” OR “assistive technology” OR “self-help devices”] OR [“accessibility” OR “architectural” OR “facility access” OR “architectural barrier” OR “ramp” OR “physical barrier”] OR [“home care” OR “home care service” OR “domiciliary care”] AND Japan. Along with this, manual research was used to identify the papers using the keywords “home modification” and “home assessment.” English papers were filtered through articles or reviews.

Articles were required to meet criteria 1), 2), and 3), or 1), 2), and 4). In this study, we adapted criteria 4) to understand and grasp the conditions in this area.
