Robotic systems do not get tired, and they are always equally attentive. This is why many hospitals around the world are already using robots as surgeons. They are called Waldo surgeons. These robots can close the distance between humans and machines as well as perform tasks with utmost precision.
Fremont, CA: AI and robotics are making ground-breaking changes in many industries, including the healthcare industry. However, robotics in healthcare is still at its infant stage.
Let us look at how AI and Robotics are improving healthcare:
Improved Accuracy
Robotic systems do not get tired, and they are always equally attentive. This is why many hospitals around the world are already using robots as surgeons. They are called Waldo surgeons. These robots can close the distance between humans and machines as well as perform tasks with utmost precision. When the software is set for an undergoing procedure, the human surgeon takes up a secondary role. Another example is targeted micro-robots that are known for excellent precision. These can go precisely where they are needed and deploy drugs locally or even perform micro-surgery.
More Precise Diagnosis
AI is used in the healthcare industry to describe various conditions by studying healthcare records and other data. AI-enabled machines can scan thousands of cases and identify correlations between thousands of variables, some of which might not even be listed in current medical works. Robotic systems have the potential to outperform the best doctors in many areas.
Augmented Human Capabilities
There are also some medical robots that assist patients. For instance, exoskeleton robots are made to help paralyzed patients walk again and be independent of caretakers. Another significant application of technology is a smart prosthesis, which are bionic limbs with sensors that often make them more accurate and reactive than the original body parts. This allows for the possibility to cover the limbs with the bionic skin and connect them to the person’s muscles.
