ROBOTICS IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR - HOW IS IT TRANSFORMING THE INDUSTRY
Technological innovations are transforming our everyday lives. And the healthcare industry is no different. From inducing artificial intelligence into the regular diagnosis and detection to integrating machine learning for faster drug discovery, innovations pave the path for a better and healthy tomorrow. The use of robotics is yet another way technology is transforming the healthcare sector. In fact, it is rapidly growing in the healthcare landscape. But the history of robots dates back to 1985 when for the very first time, “PUMA- a robotic arm” assisted the surgeons. And guess what, that neurosurgical biopsy was a complete success. With the advances in sensor and motion control techniques, robots are moving towards more precision and autonomy. The innovations are so advanced that robots can now assist and even carry out complex surgeries by themselves. So, what’s happening around in this space? Back in 2015, Google announced a project with the pharma giant Johnson & Johnson.
