Giving Mercy Care Teams More Time to Care

Mercy is making way for better patient care with our new fleet of TUG autonomous mobile robots.

What is TUG?

  • TUG is an autonomous mobile robot made specifically for hospitals.
  • TUG delivers linens, medications and meals, and helps keep the hospital clean, while reducing our co-workers’ physical workloads and their risk of injury.
  • TUG frees up our care teams to spend more time at the bedside with patients.
  • TUG has sensors that guide it through hospital spaces while steering clear of patients, visitors and caregivers. 

Will I See a TUG During My Hospital Stay?

There’s a good chance you’ll see a TUG while in the hospital. Though they don’t enter patient rooms, TUG travels the halls and elevators. There are some patient areas that TUG does not enter.
