As we reported, telemedicine took a giant leap forward when the FDA approved an iPad toting robot that its creators believe will aid in patient care. iRobot (of Roomba fame) and InTouch Health teamed up to develop the RP-VITA, a robot with self-navigation capabilities and iPad integration that brings the doctor to the patient for virtual bedside care. The RP-VITA will soon see use in 7 different medical centers in the US and Mexico.

The RP-VITA causes almost no disruption to the routines of hospital staff, so rather than being the center of attention, RP-VITA’s creators hope that the technology will work so seamlessly that it will recede into the background allowing physicians and hospital staff to focus on the patient.

Recently, AppShopper made it back into the App Store with a revised version of the discovery service that includes social sharing. Apparently, the way to get around the problem with Apple’s Regulation 2.25 is to make it social. AppShopper Social launched two weeks ago,  but may already be in jeopardy of losing its place in the App Store.
