ROBOTS IN MEDICINE & HEALTH CARE

ROBOTS IN MEDICINE & HEALTH CARE

Hello every one today I am here with blog on Robots which have become the indispensable part of our new normal life.

Robots can be defined as the machines  that can be programmed to form multiple task with high speed , precision and expertise to help the human being .The term robot derived from Czech word ‘robota’ that meant forced labour.

Starting from the first robot invented  by George Davlon named ‘Unimate’ now no field is untouched of robotics  whether it be educative robots, military robots, banking or industry.

Hotel industry are now preferring Robots to serve food in hotels as they can work at faster pace and efficiently.

Now coming towards role of robots in medicine and health care. Robots have replaced the nurses, assisting high end surgery, disinfecting the operation theatres. Robots have been proved as a boon in the medical and health care.

Because of the hectic schedule 24*7 work schedule nurses and medical professionals being seen tired and fed up and stressed  of their daily work schedule. Quality of work is  being affected by this. Robots are helping them to complete the task in faster and efficient manner to save their energy and caliber for the tasks which really require the human empathy to help the patient.

Following are the Robots which are altering the scenario of health care and medicine in hospital:

·       McKesson Robot Rx: It is a automated robotic system dispensing medicine to patient replacing Pharmacist

·       Carriers as the the name suggest do the task of carrying stuff.

·       Da Vinci Surgical Robot performs high end complex surgery like prostectomy, cardiac repair & gyanaecological procedures.

·       Vi Rob Miniature Robot having multiple function can crawl inside body and locate tumor and can treat .

·       Mr.Gower  patrol hospital as nurse and staff member can navigate elevator stairs.

·       IV Robots taking part in mixing and dispensing fluids and injections in Chemotherapy.

 

As everything comes with its own pros and cons same is here with the robotics though these can do efficiently what ever is programmed but still these are not able to decide their own in emergency condition while humans are able to take prompt decision in such situation.

It is just becoming a threat to employment of humans if industry can work with 10 robots instead of 50 workers industry would prefer to take robots.

But still we can’t deny their increasing role in every field.

 

Future prospectives are very high with robots  by introducing features like empathy touch recognition being very helpful for the patients or people do not have any one to take care, console and make feel good. In western culture it’s a big issue for the old people who don’t have any body to take care. In Indian culture we are still blessed with culture and values that make us remained connected to our roots and so to the respect and compassion for elderly aged people of the family.

 

Concluding with this have a safe and healthy life and yes do possess empathy that  makes us a better person :).
