Research and Markets has included another report to its series titled, “Analyzing Robotics in Healthcare”. Recently, the option of using robots and their importance has increased in the healthcare industry. In fact, they are widely used for surgery and therapy.
The report on robotic surgery industry has been studied by Aruvian’s R’search. It provides an outline on industrial robots and gives an introduction about robotics in medicine and healthcare. The definition, applications and analysis of different protocols followed in healthcare robotics are discussed in this section. It also talks about the pros and cons of healthcare robotics.
Then, it deals about using robotics in key healthcare industries, which include gynaecology, gastrointestinal surgery, cardiology, cardiothoracic and general surgeries and many more.
The report also speaks about the impact factors of robotics including technological concerns, social trends, ethical challenges, epidemiological factors and increasing population. The requirement of robotics in the healthcare industry has also been studied.
Section H provides a detailed analysis on the function of robotics in providing professional care, treating rehabilitation patients, and involving in assisted preventive therapies, diagnosis, assistive technology and many others.
Separate analysis on the major application areas of robotics has been reported. These applications include robotics for computerized surgery, cardiac surgery, motor coordination analysis and therapy and intelligent prosthetics. The technology employed for robotic surgery and therapy, using autonomous tool, tele-operated tool, cooperatively controlled tools, helping systems and devices and others, has also been analyzed.
Finally, robotics and enabling technology in the healthcare industry and inclusion of haptic sensation in robotic system are also included in the report. The future of robotics in medicine has also been discussed.
The major companies mentioned in this book include Toshiba, Hitachi, Titan Medical, Prosurgics, Otto Bock, Accuray, Intuitive Surgical and Hansen Medical.
