ROBOTICS has a wide application in the healthcare sector ,thanks to their precision ,ability to do the
monotonous work like washing the hospital floors ,supplying medicines between different floors of the hospital.Thus the healthcare robots can be used to perform the monotonous tasks and thus giving
time to nurses to look after the patients and their well-being.
Here are few more applications of robotics in the Healthcare domain:

Here are few more applications of robotics in the Healthcare domain:
- ROBOTS FOR DISINFECTING HOSPITAL ROOMS: Hospital acquired infections are one of the leading cause of death in US and it is been reported that 1 in 25 people will contract HAI .Thus to solve this problem, Xenex a Texas based company produced a robot which uses Ultraviolet rays(UV) to disinfect hospital floors quickly and efficiently.In this way robotics can be used to decrease the human workload and for disinfecting the room.
2.ROBOTICS APPLICATION FOR ELDERLY CARE:
Loneliness among elderly people can cause a lot of health related issues like depression.Hence in order to tackle this ,companion robots are been developed which provide a human touch and make the elderly feel positive and happy.
Sam the robot,was tested in United States in the year 2015 among elder community.It can provide companionship and non-medical care for eldery in healthcare facilities and also improve patient satisfaction scores by being around them all the time.
The medical sector is continuously evolving and so are the applications of robotics in healthcare domain and in future medical robots will prove to be very useful and efficient.
nicely written. Also simple and easy to understand! Keep it up!!
