The Impact Of Medical Robotics On Every day Healthcare: Transforming Clinical Operations In India With Special Reference To Chennai

Abstract

The integration of medical robotics into healthcare systems is revolutionizing clinical operations, particularly in India, with a focus on Chennai. This study examines the transformative effects of medical robotics on everyday healthcare practices, emphasizing enhanced patient care, operational efficiency, and safety. Medical robots, which have evolved significantly since their inception in the 1980s, are now utilized in various capacities, including surgical assistance, rehabilitation, and logistical support within healthcare facilities. The deployment of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and surgical robots has streamlined workflows, reduced the physical demands on healthcare workers, and minimized the risk of human error. In Chennai, the adoption of these technologies has the potential to address critical challenges such as staffing shortages and the need for improved patient outcomes. This research highlights how robotics can facilitate minimally invasive procedures, optimize medication dispensing, and enhance monitoring for chronic conditions, thereby allowing healthcare professionals to devote more time to direct patient interaction. The findings underscore the importance of embracing robotic technologies to improve the quality of healthcare services and ensure a safer environment for both patients and providers. As medical robotics continue to advance, their role in healthcare is expected to expand, promising further innovations that will enhance clinical operations across India. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of medical robotics in Chennai, offering insights into future developments and their implications for healthcare delivery.
