Abstract
The use of Robotics in Healthcare has been tried from more than two decades,
but has still not been used to its maximum potential. Currently in healthcare,
robots are mainly used for surgical purposes. Various surgical procedures like
prostatectomy and hip replacement are being implemented using these robots.
Robots could be used to perform minimal invasive surgery, remote surgery, and
unmanned surgery. The major advantages of using robots for surgery are:
- Accuracy - Robots once instructed can perform a task without fatigue and
with accuracy, even after long hours of operation. A robot would also
eliminate hand-tremors of the surgeon, due to fatigue or other reasons and
increase accuracy of the operation.
- Smaller Scars - Robots perform surgery by making smaller cuts to the
patient' s body, thus leaving smaller scars to the patients.
- Less Blood Loss - Smaller incisions lead to lesser amount of blood loss
for the patients.
- Less Pain - Patients suffer lesser pain due to the smaller cuts made by
the robots.
- Faster Recovery - Smaller external cuts, eventually leads to faster
healing, decreased possibility of infections, and therefore a faster recovery
for the patients.
- Shorter Hospital Stay - Speedier healing and recovery leads to a shorter
stay in the hospital thus saving costs.
The scope of this report includes the worldwide market for the following categories:
- Robotic Equipment used in Healthcare
- Accessories for Robotic Equipment used in Healthcare
- Service and Training Agreements for Robotic Equipment used in Healthcare
- Revenue generated by Hospitals and Healthcare Centers by providing
healthcare services using Robotic Equipment
