Can AI and Robots Replace Doctors in the Future: In the 21st century, there is continuous development in the healthcare industry, this industry is adopting new technologies and through digitalization, everything is being seen like never before. There has been a revolution in healthcare through innovation. Although the healthcare industry had to face a lot of problems due to the coronavirus epidemic, as a result, some changes have also come in it. Let us know which technology we will get to see in this field in the new era.
Future Technology of the Healthcare Sector
1. Artificial Intelligence
Nowadays there is a lot of talk about Artificial Intelligence i.e. AI, the medical field is also not untouched by this, this technology has tried to reduce many challenges, such as administrative work which usually they are very complicated and also takes a lot of time. If AI will fulfill the administrative task of the hospital, then the healthcare workers will be able to pay more attention to the service of the patients. Personalization has also been improved in this industry, sophisticated data can be leveraged through artificial intelligence, which will make it easier to take important decisions. As a result, patients will be able to be treated in a better way.
2. Telehealth
It may not be a completely new concept, but it has now become an essential part of healthcare. Due to the digital revolution in the healthcare industry, it has become easy to connect with most of the people associated with this field. Today doctors and nursing staff can do their work easily through this. Due to this, time is being saved and patients are also getting a lot of convenience. Many doctors can give virtual consultations to the patients present in their homes.
3. Robotics
There is a lot of confusion among the common people about robotics the work of robots is not to replace humans, but its real purpose is to improve productivity and reduce mistakes in the medical field, With the help of robotic technology, the work of healthcare workers will become easier so that they will be able to focus more on the care of patients.
Dr. Ramneek Mahajan, orthopedic surgeon, at Max Superspeciality Hospital, gives an example of how advanced technology like robotic arm-assisted surgery has the potential to improve patient outcomes as well as improve surgeons' practice. There is potential. He said, 'The integration of robotics in orthopedic surgery has brought about a revolutionary change in the field. By combining the expertise of skilled surgeons with the dexterity and precision of robotic arms, this new approach allows for finer control and a higher level of accuracy during complex orthopedic procedures. Apart from this, with the integration of robotic arms, surgeons can reach such places where it is difficult to reach. This reduces the risk of complications and also reduces postoperative recovery time.
Dr. Ramnik Mahajan further said, 'With the help of this technique, we have found that wounds heal faster, pain is less and patients have to stay in the hospital for less time. With this, patients can return to their daily routine as soon as possible.
4. Blockchain
It is generally considered a part of the finance industry, but its presence is being seen in the field of healthcare as well. Its main objective is the protection of the sensitive data of patients, who are always the target of cybercriminals. There has been a steady increase in incidents of data theft in the healthcare sector as well. Therefore, there is a great need for data security, including patient identification, and supply chain capabilities. The need for this technology will increase in the coming times. Through this, all such problems can be removed.
Will this technology replace doctors in the future?
All these technological developments prove that the healthcare ecosystem is being made more accessible, efficient, affordable, and patient-centric. Even though patient care is being done in a better way with the help of these technologies, it is equally important to strike a balance between human efforts and innovation. A collaborative partnership between healthcare professionals and technology continues to be the cornerstone of this revolution, where the human touch meets the precision of machines. It is expected that instead of taking away the jobs of healthcare workers, AI, and robots will make their work easier
