Help Name Our TUGs!

TUG robot in the new hospital tower

Starting this fall, our new “TUG” robots will be roaming the floors of UConn John Dempsey Hospital, transporting prescription medications from the pharmacy to our medical teams.

This is where you come in—our four new friends need names! Submit your TUG name below, along with your name and email. Submissions are due by September 9. Winners will be announced on Facebook.

In the meantime, the pharmacy folks are busy preparing for the TUGS’ first day and that includes making sure the robots know where they’re going (and don’t run into anything along the way). Watch the video to see how it’s done.
