Automation of health care technology

Health care technology is constantly evolving with new equipment and techniques constantly being developed and improved. Currently, doctors in the world are no stranger to the presence of robots in the operating room or robots that support them from a distance through video cameras .

Surgical robot

Da Vinci is the world's most advanced surgical robot. This remote 'doctor' is capable of performing surgical procedures that require precision. Shivering during surgery will be significantly limited when Da Vinci is involved. And because robots are remote controlled, surgeons can perform surgeries from any location outside the hospital where they work. However, in the near future, robots like Da Vinci can be independent of 'combat' without the need for a doctor's instruction.

In fact, two years ago in England there was an operation performed by a robot with the control of a computer. 'It is not support. Computers in one country control robots and operate on one patient in another country. It is the first time in the world that robots have performed surgeries on their own , 'said Ian Neild, an expert with BT Telecommunication Group (UK). In addition to expensive and sophisticated machines like the Da Vinci, upcoming health care devices are simpler in the form of robots that will appear more in hospitals.

Robots

Robot El-E holds objects to the person controlling it.

The process of research and development of this type of robot has been carried out for decades but it is difficult to understand how the robot understands the instructions of users and executes. This humanoid form is primarily designed to 'serve' older people or bedridden sick people. Voice recognition software integrated into the robot is often vague and inaccurate while guiding through the joystick makes the robot slow to understand and entangle the user.

To overcome these problems, the Georgia Institute of Technology (USA) built EL-E robots to receive instructions through lasers. When the driver directs the laser into the object, EL-E's sensor system recognizes this light. EL-E approached the object and used the arm to grab the item and returned it to the operator. According to Georgia researchers, robots are capable of performing many other tasks such as opening doors, turning off lights, or instructing patients if they have additional arms or other tools. When connected to the Internet, EL-E can become a remote support robot.

Smart drug blister

To take medicine on time and in the right dosage, patients can use smart medicine blisters. When taking the medicine out of the blister pack, the drinker is asked to answer the questions (such as the health status at the time of drinking, the time to drink .) written on the blister and press the button to save the answer. When receiving a medicine package (used), the pharmacist or doctor can understand the patient's health situation so that he or she can adjust the treatment accordingly.

Quilts tracking organs

Ultrasound belts help pregnant women monitor fetal health.

According to Philips electronics company (Netherlands), future hospital beds still need to have visits by doctors and nurses. The company has developed a bed with ultrasonic blankets to monitor patients' organs. The visual data on organ activity is then transmitted to the interactive screen and the doctor can view the 3-dimensional image of the patient's organ with a single touch.

This ultrasound technology is being applied to the belly belt for pregnant women. With this type of belt, pregnant women do not need to go to an ultrasound to monitor fetal growth as it provides a 3-dimensional image of the baby in the abdomen. The belt can connect the touch screen and to see the ultrasound picture, the doctor just touches the screen.
