Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Healthcare is being changed by medical robots, which are improving the accuracy and speed of procedures as well as patient outcomes. These include robots used in surgery, rehabilitation, and patient care. The da Vinci Surgical System is one example of surgical robots that makes minimally invasive procedures possible so as to reduce healing time and prevent infections. Surgical visualization and dexterity are improved for surgeons, thus improving the precision of delicate operations.
Robots have been introduced into the rehabilitation process where they can contribute to helping patients recover from strokes or injuries through the provision of personalized therapy that adapts to individual progress. Through movement encouragement and real-time feedback provided by these robotic systems, more patients heal much faster from physical therapy. Medical robots also play a crucial role in patient care specifically with respect to hospital logistics management. Health workers can allow self-sufficient bots transport drugs, equipment, and other things such as sanitizing agents, freeing up their time for direct contact with patients. As technology continues to advance, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into this medical robot will further increase their capabilities, making them indispensable in present healthcare facilities and striving toward better future healthcare.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Emmanouil Zoulias
Guest Editor
