Robots treat COVID-19 patients skillfully!

Necessity is the mother of invention! The epic coronavirus that initially showed up in mainland China has now spread over the world, with more than 40 lakh reported cases and almost 3 lakh deaths, as of today. What’s more, right alongside the outbreak is the deployment of myriad types of AI-powered tech that is now being put on full display.

 

In an offer to limit individual-to-individual contact, artificial intelligence-powered devices had already equipped with thermometers and cameras are taking patients’ vitals and helping doctors determine individuals to have the sickness from a sheltered distance. With this, the robots too have come to escape lowering the risk of the hospitals treating corona patients.

 

 

Even if we see the health workers wearing protective gears and kit, there is a risk of exposure for medical staff and therefore there is lot of anxiety among all when entering into isolation ward where there are positive patients. If this robot reduces even one round out of 10 being made by medical staff, it be of big help, as it also helps reducing 10 per cent chance of exposure. It is very difficult to imagine the health workers strive treat the covid-19 patients. Although they get salaries to serve and that they are just doing their job it is worth lauding for they are risking their life to save the covid-19 patients. The said invention of robots to serve the sufferers is is a boon to the health industry now.

 

Further, with robots coming in service, it delivers food and other small things as required by patients, thereby reducing the rounds of medical staff they need to make in isolation wards. Eventually, the number of medical staff deputed in the isolation ward shall be reduced and they are free to serve other departments as required.

 

While the first test of the robots in the midst of the coronavirus spread was conducted out of India in the month of March, it won't be an over exaggeration if noted that every privileged Hospital in India today is working efficiently with the help of these robot. Recently Sardar Vallabhbhai Hospital in Pune too developed a four legged robot to keep health workers away from the infection.

 

Robotics and automation definitely play a major role in combating infectious diseases, especially coronavirus. They have the potential to be deployed for disinfection, delivering medications and food, measuring vital signs, and assisting border controls. As epidemics escalate, the potential roles of robotics are becoming increasingly clear. It is only with the help of Science and Technology that the world would see the epidemic waiving off the ground.

 

Regardless of whether deployed in hospital rooms, office buildings or airplanes, industry leaders accept the healthcare industry will come to depend increasingly more on robots in the coming years. Effectively utilized for aiding medical procedures and apportioning meds, autonomous machines are required to make life simpler for medical staff by giving data and different services to patients in a timely manner. From multiple points of view, these fresher, further developed innovations stand to help battle the coronavirus episode.
