Artificial intelligence in healthcare is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and understand complex medical and healthcare data. In some cases, it can exceed or augment human capabilities by providing better or faster ways to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease.
Companion robot: It has the capability to engage emotionally with users keeping them company and alerting if there is a problem with their health. Disinfection robot: It has the capability to disinfect a whole room in mere minutes, generally using pulsed ultraviolet light. [5] [6] They are being used to fight Ebola virus disease. [7]
Modern robotics have made huge progress and contribution to healthcare. Robots can help doctors in performing variety tasks. Robotics adoption is increasing tremendously in hospitals. The following are different ways to improve healthcare by using robots: [40] Robotic Spinal Surgery
Computer-assisted neurosurgery also includes spinal procedures using navigation and robotics systems. Current navigation systems available include Medtronic StealthStation, BrainLab, 7D Surgical, Stryker, and Zeta Surgical Zeta; current robotics systems available include Mazor Renaissance, MazorX, Globus Excelsius GPS, and Brainlab Cirq.

The concept of using standard hand grips to control manipulators and cameras of various sizes down to sub-miniature was described in the Robert Heinlein story 'Waldo' in August 1942, which also mentioned brain surgery. The first robot to assist in surgery was the Arthrobot, which was developed and used for the first time in Vancouver in 1983.
Rehabilitation robotics is a field of research dedicated to understanding and augmenting rehabilitation through the application of robotic devices. Rehabilitation robotics includes development of robotic devices tailored for assisting different sensorimotor functions [1] (e.g. arm, hand, [2] [3] leg, ankle [4]), development of different schemes of assisting therapeutic training, [5] and ...
A robot surgical system generally consists of one or more arms (controlled by the surgeon), a master controller (console), and a sensory system giving feedback to the user. [1] [2] Remote surgery combines elements of robotics, telecommunications such as high-speed data connections and elements of management information systems.
In medicine and robotics, diagnostic robots are diagnosis tools in the form of a physical robot or a software expert system.Developed in the 1970s near the height of the AI boom, automatic diagnosis systems are capable of gathering data for medical diagnosis with its knowledge based subsystem, and tools such as a tendon-actuated, anthropomorphic finger, skin-like sensors for tactile perception ...
