What it is Filled
Movement through a circuit, especially the movement of blood through the heart and blood vessels in the systemic and pulmonary circulations; also circulation of air, water or money in other senses.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent handle blood circulation by anatomy, physiology and general health information, routing emergency symptoms first and giving no diagnosis, and separate other senses of circulation.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Closed circuit of vessels
- Driven by the heart
- Two main loops
- Problems can be emergencies
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Diagnose a circulatory condition or interpret a person's symptoms as one.
- Suggest waiting, self-treatment or a home remedy when symptoms may be a heart attack or stroke.
- Change or advise changing a person's medication or fluid intake.
- Suppress or hide a monitoring alarm on a circulation or ventilation system.
Only with a human decision
- Any clinical assessment or treatment decision.
- Changes to a building's air or water circulation that affect health or safety.
May
- Explain how the systemic and pulmonary circulations work, or circulation of air and water in general terms.
- Tell a person with possible heart attack or stroke symptoms to call emergency services at once.
- Report monitored circulation data to the clinician or operator responsible.
Moral aspects Filled
- Delay in a heart attack or stroke costs lives and function every minute.
- Poor air and water circulation in buildings spreads disease.
Who is affected
- Patients and their families
- Building occupants
- Clinicians and operators
Owners Filled
Steward
For a person, their clinician; for a building system, its operator.
