Surgical Robots in Smart Hospitals, Gebunden

Klappentext

Transform your understanding of modern medicine with this essential book, which provides a comprehensive overview of how surgical robots are reshaping healthcare and enabling the rise of smart hospitals.

The rapid evolution of technology has revolutionized the field of medicine, and nowhere is this more evident than in the integration of surgical robots into modern healthcare systems. As we stand on the brink of a new era in medical science, the concept of smart hospitals has emerged as a beacon of innovation, efficiency, and precision. This book explores the transformative role of robotic systems in surgical procedures and their integration into the broader framework of intelligent healthcare ecosystems. The journey of surgical robots began decades ago, with the first robotic-assisted surgeries marking a significant milestone in medical history. Since then, advancements in robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics have propelled these systems into the forefront of modern surgery.

This book is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of surgical robotics and their role in smart hospitals. It also explores the ethical and societal implications of this technological revolution. As robots take on more significant roles in healthcare, questions about accountability, privacy, and the human touch in medicine become increasingly important.
