Embracing Automation : Cobots emerging as helpers in the healthcare industry

‍

We are heading towards a technological advanced world. Because of the necessity for extraordinary accuracy, precision, and efficiency, industrial processing systems have embraced automation during the previous few years .Current technical advancements have efficiently deployed automated machinery throughout a wide range of businesses, particularly those with well-defined operations and products, such as the manufacturing and automotive industries.

‍

Nonetheless, the healthcare industry has faced its own set of challenges. Among the key challenges are the prevalence of inefficiency and the susceptibility to human errors in non-automated situations. The introduction of robotics in the healthcare industry has been rewarding.

Applications of robotics in Healthcare industry

‍

Automation enables a subset of IT solutions including e-prescriptions, automated billing, electronic medical records, appointment reminders, sophisticated scheduling, clinic management, insurance claim automation, and inventory management.

‍

Recent technology breakthroughs have resulted in the introduction of robots into the healthcare field, which will be closely supervised by humans. Robotic medical assistants meticulously monitor patients' vital signs, alerting nurses as soon as human assistance is required. This configuration allows a single nurse to supervise numerous patients at the same time, while these helpers smoothly enter data into electronic health records. Robotic carts deliver supplies along hospital hallways, while in the surgical sector, robots give doctors with increased precision, resulting in higher surgical success rates.

These robots do simple duties such as collecting blood, analyzing patients' vital indicators and condition, and offering hygienic help. In pharmaceutical laboratories, robots also assist with medicine production and dispensing. Among these advancements are "gears and wires" robotic devices designed to help paraplegics move and facilitate physical treatment.
