Key points on why is beneficial to include robotics in healthcare facilities.
Benefits
Cost
Although it might seem counter-intuitive to spend significant sums of money on robotics in healthcare with the aim of making healthcare universally cheaper, this is exactly what could happen given investment, both in public and private healthcare settings. Robots can improve patient safety and reduce costs in the long-term, meaning both public and private healthcare systems will benefit in terms of patient care and finances. This isn’t to say that efforts won’t need to be made in order to effect such change: the initial capital expenditure on equipment, ongoing maintenance and training will still need to be factored in, as well as upgrading the robots themselves.
Sanitation
Perhaps one of the most important aspects of robotics-based healthcare solutions is the reduced incidence of transmitted infection between patients and healthcare professionals. This applies not just to surgery but also to more routine procedures like dispensing pharmaceuticals and disinfecting medical devices and equipment. Robots reduced the role of fomites (inanimate objects which can lead to infection) in the spread of disease while maintaining the quality of the healthcare system. This is an indispensable part of a modern healthcare system.
Quality of Life
By maintaining a sterile environment without requiring constant human oversight, Ultrabot not only enhances patient safety but also allows healthcare staff to focus more on patient care, ultimately leading to better overall health outcomes and a more efficient, comfortable healthcare experience.
Tirelessly working to eliminate harmful pathogens from surfaces, reducing the risk of infections that can compromise patient health. Its ability to operate independently and navigate complex environments means it can consistently disinfect high-touch areas like door knobs and handrails, which are often missed by manual cleaning.
Better Healthcare
Advanced robotics will simply lead to better yet lower-cost health services in the healthcare industry. In fact, it can dramatically alter how people receive healthcare. Lower-cost healthcare enabled by advanced robotics will have a democratising effect for the entire world's population. And by reducing the spread of infection which leads to even further associated costs and by liberating medical staff from repetitive tasks in order to refocus on value-adding services, applying robotics in hospitals for the beginning of a dramatically more affordable system of healthcare for everyone..
