Title: Embracing medical robots in today’s highly interconnected world
Abstract:
As new discoveries are being made on a daily basis, medical technology is experiencing advancements in robotic applications. These intelligent machines progressively become part of in & out hospital setting technological evolution and medical staff. Henceforth, Healthcare Providers will inevitably need to work closely with medical robots. We should take the necessary steps now to gain a better understanding of how these mechanical wonders enhance our practice in order to have a more significant role and for successful adoption of the technology and related changes in patterns of care. Medical robots have some inherent advantages over humans. A machine does not need sleep or food and does not have prejudices that we humans so often have. This could change the way we treat people who are sick and vulnerable. Robotics involve designing and implementing intelligent machines which can do work considered too dirty, too dangerous, too precise or too tedious for humans. Furthermore, it has the potential to expand surgical treatment modalities beyond the limits of human ability. In this presentation, distinct categories of robots in health care delivery such as surgical, medical, service, rehabilitative care and pandemic intervention will be explored. The challenges, opportunities and implications of emerging technologies to the future of the medical profession will also be discussed. While there are concerns about machines replacing people in the workforce, with some preparation and forethought, Healthcare Providers , can make sure the human touch stays relevant in medicine while concurrently taking advantage of our AI friends.
