"Robots are already saving lives if not thousands but hundreds at a time." A revolution of robotics in health sector that will prove in an age of austerity, ageing and expanding populations and medical staff shortages. With its once sky-high cost, the economics of advanced medical technology did not allow for any fast integration into our cash-strapped public hospitals or even the better-offs private institutions. Should current trends continue, the global need-based shortage of health-care workers is projected to be still more than 14 million in 2030, according to World Health Organisation estimates. Despite the increase in medical robotics, we re not yet within the realms of seeing surgeons made redundant by robots. However, rapid advancements in technology repeatedly remind us to rule-out no possibilities.
How many of us are comfortable with medical surgery conducted by a robotic surgeon? But it is becoming quite common across the field of medical science to include robotic assistance that can improve accuracy, persistence, labor all at the same time. So, here are few recently developed robots currently being implemented in hospitals and treatment centers to improve quality of care and patient outcomes. The da Vinci Surgical Robot : system gives surgeons more precise control for a range of procedures. Using magnified 3D high-definition vision and controls that strap to a surgeon's wrists and hands, the da Vinci makes tiny, exact incisions that human hands might not otherwise be able to make. This offers enhanced control to surgeons and, since the surgery is less invasive than traditional surgery, a faster healing time for patients.
