-
Rishabha Malviya
Abstract
The use of robots in healthcare environments has demonstrated significant progress, presenting a potential opportunity for addressing sustainability issues within the healthcare sector. The use of robotic technology in the healthcare sector, with a specific focus on its sustainability implications -this statement emphasizes the potential of robotic technology for improving the sustainability of healthcare systems via the reduction of resource use, enhancement of operational efficiency, and improvement of patient care. The chapter also examines potential challenges to using robots in healthcare and emphasizes the need for collaborative initiatives among many stakeholders to effectively incorporate robots into healthcare systems. It demonstrates the crucial significance of robots in the progression of healthcare sustainability, providing an understanding of a potential healthcare future that is both ecologically friendly and operationally effective. In conclusion, the chapter discusses the significance of collaboration and research in promoting the implementation of robots in healthcare systems to promote sustainability. The advancement of robotic technology is dependent upon the collaboration of technology developers, healthcare providers, and research institutes. Robotic applications are always being improved to become more efficient and sustainable through research and innovation. In conclusion, the chapter provides a thorough examination of how robotic technology might be used to improve sustainability in the healthcare industry. By addressing multiple dimensions, including resource optimization, enhanced precision, telemedicine, waste reduction, extended reach, supply chain efficiency, data utilization, energy conservation, and social considerations, it provides a comprehensive picture of the transformative potential of robots in healthcare. The healthcare industry needs sustainability to deal with growing problems like a lack of resources, rising healthcare costs, and more patients who require good care. The use of robotic technology has emerged as a technique that has the potential to bring about considerable improvements in sustainability within the healthcare sector. The present chapter explores many complex functions of robots within the healthcare sector, as well as their influence on the concept of sustainability.
