'Garden village' robot that performs health check-ups
Leicester Mercury
|March 10, 2026
THE county's first "garden village" is home to a new robot designed to ease the burden on the NHS and "bridge the gap" to services for residents.
FUTURISTIC SUPPORT: The LEO365 is used to perform an otoscope
(DAVIDSONS HOMES)
The technology, which has already helped flag a potentially cancerous lump on one user, is being trialled at Broadnook Garden Village, a community of nearly 2,000 houses set across 460 acres of land between Birstall and Rothley.
Developers say the robot, known as LEO360, will help residents access basic health checks, such as checking blood pressure, skin, and heart health, all while connecting remotely to a GP.
More than 200 residents and staff have taken up a free assessment with the robot - and eight have required further intervention from a GP or hospital as a result of the check.
