Replacing manual labor by ten times, robotic applications have arrived to transform the healthcare industry for the better. Robotic applications in healthcare carry out automated actions that are repetitive, and mundane for humans, by following computerized commands. Assisting surgeons and healthcare professionals, with artificial intelligence mechanisms, has resulted in the expanded duration of attention towards the crux of a concern and not exhaust around tedious marginal efforts. Artificial intelligence software significantly reduces logistical pressure over a medical clinic followed by enhanced health tech services to be available to the seekers at their convenience evading unnecessary fatigue.

Yumi

A collaborative robotic application that successfully follows human co-workers to learn about the pathways and corridors of a hospital to continue the mundane process of delivering medicines and essentials to each ward and cabin. Interestingly it has a greater capacity to function in manufacturing medicines where it can follow computerized commands to carry forward repetitive tasks of loading and unloading, bottle filling and handling liquids, etc. Moreover, warehousing facilities are also assisted by this robotic application that makes mundane medical processes easier and efficient earlier.

Ekso Bionics

Rising as a Stroke rehabilitation application is an exoskeleton that helps patients affected by stroke and other impairment circumstances. This retrieves the activities and physical movement in the patient’s body that became stagnant after the despair of the medical condition. Robotic applications as such can reduce the patient’s vulnerability to taking physiotherapists’ help and in turn also assists the therapists in an uninterrupted workflow.

Robotically Assisted Surgical Robot or RASD

This kind of robotic application functions during surgery. The RASD assists surgeons to perform invasive surgeries that involve minute organs of the body. To reach the confined location of the body where the surgery is entitled to happen this application enables the surgeon to get sight of the actual place in maximize mode so that efficiency is delivered. Patient monitoring and patient communication are other factors controlled by this application

Telepresence Applications

Robotic Applications empowered by highly efficient AI algorithms are capable of conducting a vast array of medical procedures remotely. A doctor can be consulted on these platforms and the patient can be sizably diagnosed and treated virtually without taking the pain to visit hospitals. Unless it is a treatment that is not possible to be conducted by AI algorithms because of its ignorance, minor and most common conditions can be addressed effectively.

Dispensing Applications

Pharmaceutical challenges are significantly solved with greater accuracy and pace.  Automated dispensing and prescription facilities such as powders, fluids, and other materials are transported appropriately enabling patients to recover faster.

IBM’s Watson

This AI-powered application has a great impact on the healthcare sector. Cases of Cancer, diabetes, heart disease is easily predicted with this application, and decision-making for the doctors becomes extensively easier.

Digital Consultation Application

This AI-powered robotic application has time-saving qualities and is skilled enough with a high range of databases to reflect illnesses of the user. When the user reports the occurrence of certain symptoms, the application identifies the disease by comparing it to the range of databases present with it.

Virtual Nursing Applications

Besides surgical robotics in healthcare, this is another form of AI-powered robotic application that is empowered to monitor actions of a patient and guide them with delicate care while they are in their treatment phase. The virtual nurses follow up at every interval to ensure the good health of the user.

Suggestive Treatment Applications

These are robotic applications that are eligible and capable of offering treatment ideas and available options for a specific medical condition. These are enhanced and personalized for the selected user considering the history and comorbidities present in their body collecting data from external research and clinical expertise imbibed in it.

Detective Applications

In this type of application, the errors and fallacies of a particular treatment and prescription are detected. These robotic applications are careful enough to not let the medical practitioners take any harmful actions in negligence. They warn them before the commitment to avert any forthcoming risks that would be a consequence of the treatment and not the medical condition.
