Description

Today, healthcare services and systems are becoming very complex and include a large number of entities characterized by shared, distributed and heterogeneous devices, sensors, and information and communication technologies. Various artificial intelligence techniques have been implemented in various sectors like smart cities, energy, IT sectors, banking, agriculture, retails, and many more, but it has been always challenging to demonstrate this technique effectively in healthcare sector due to its sophisticated procedure and its handling. Data analytics research on healthcare data has grown significantly over the past 10-12 years, and the execution of data analytics algorithms and systems in healthcare has been progressing more quickly. The data analytics service section has gained considerable attention with the development of technology, especially artificial intelligence robots, in the healthcare sector. Robots can help people with cognitive, sensory, and motor disabilities, help the sick or injured, support caregivers, and assist the clinical workforce. The purpose of this study is to provide historical evolution of robotics in healthcare with an overview of the influence of robots in healthcare like clinical support, patient transfer in hospitals, to handle heavy surgical instruments, to transport medical waste, for drug delivery, patient management etc. Furthermore, this chapter also covered the challenges and opportunities in healthcare and also offers a comprehensive aspect at how robots are incorporate in various healthcare applications. 2025 Elsevier Inc.
