The Future of Robotics in Healthcare

A pioneer in the field of robotic health care, Dr. Catherine Mohr discusses how healthcare professionals can lower costs and improve patient outcome through the use of telemanipulation technology. The technology first uses robot that is on the nuclear industry to reduce the radiation on the human, but robot can do it. Current robots are used for researching on Mars, an expedition there. We can not put a human there, but we can send a robot there. The use of robots in healthcare can reduce costs for patients and also can reduce the errors of doctor. Surgery is an unpleasant experience at best. The waiting lists can be long depending on available manpower and resources. daVinci helps alleviate the problem. During a hospital stay patients interact with nurses the most. They draw blood, check your vital signs, check on your condition and take care of your hygiene if needed. They are often overwhelmed by physically and mentally daunting tasks, and the result is often an unpleasant experience for everyone involved. Robotic nurses will help carry this burden in the future. They are designed to be able to carry out repetitive tasks. This way the staff has more energy to deal with issues that require human decision making skills and empathy. Certain robots can even take your blood sample.
