Today, the view and technology has changed. Now we can see, the technology has advanced so far that it makes sense now to consider robotic technology for cost and time savings, waste reduction and improve patient care in all healthcare settings. The Automation driven by digital health care technologies, such as robotics and artificial intelligence, could heavily contribute to the long-term sustainability and profitability of health care systems. The Robotic technologies appear in many areas that directly affect patient care in everywhere. Robotics can be used to disinfect patient rooms and operating rooms, reducing risks for patients and medical personnel. It can work in laboratories to take blood samples and to transport, to analyze, and to store them. This is especially good news for have ever had blood drawn by someone who had to try several times to find a “good vein.” The robotic lab assistant can locate that vessel and draw the blood with less pain and anxiety for the patient. The Robots also prepare and dispense medications in pharmacological labs. In the larger facilities robotic carts carry bed linens and even meals from floor to floor, riding elevators and maneuvering through automatic doors. There are robotic assistants that to help the paraplegic patients to move and can administer physical therapy. The robotic technology has good opportunities in the current generation in all health care areas.
