The Future & Scope of Robotics in the Healthcare Industry
The modern healthcare industry is frequently, if not always, overburdened by high costs and a plethora of stringent regulations. As a result, these pressures may hamper the urgency as well as the quality of patient care. The usage of robotics in the medical field is revolutionising a vast number of tasks, such as how surgeries are performed, or how supply delivery is done; disinfection; and the ability of providers to focus on engaging with and caring for their patients. The use of robotics and automation also extends to research laboratories, where they are used to automate manual, repetitive, and high-volume tasks. In this case, technicians and scientists can focus their attention on more strategic tasks that make discoveries happen faster. Historical Significance Historically, the earliest use of surgical assistance in the medical field dates back to the 1980s, using robotic arm technology. With the passage of time, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled compute...
