ROBOTICS IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY

PROBLEMS FACED BY THE

HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
 Shortage of Healthcare Professionals
 Accessibility
 Cost of Healthcare
 Medical Errors
 Infectious Diseases
HOW CAN THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS BE
SOLVED WITH THE HELP OF ROBOTICS?
 Reducing labor costs: Robotics can help reduce the dependence on manual labor and reduce labor costs.
For example, robots can perform tasks such as medication dispensing, patient monitoring, and surgery
with higher precision, speed, and consistency than human workers.
 Improving patient outcomes: Robotics can help improve patient outcomes by providing precise and
accurate medical procedures, reducing the risk of complications and errors. Robotic systems can also
help improve patient monitoring and tracking, allowing healthcare professionals to make timely and
accurate decisions.
 Enhancing accessibility: Healthcare services can be inaccessible to some populations, especially in
remote or underserved areas. Robotics can help enhance accessibility by providing telemedicine services,
remote monitoring, and other forms of digital health services that can be accessed from anywhere.
 Improving efficiency: Healthcare facilities are often faced with resource constraints, and robotics can
help improve efficiency by automating tasks that are repetitive or time-consuming, allowing healthcare
professionals to focus on more complex tasks.
 Enhancing infection control: Healthcare facilities are prone to infections, and robotics can help enhance
infection control by performing tasks such as cleaning and disinfecting without putting human workers at
risk.
