In a very popular Hollywood film franchisee Transformer, we could see robots fighting, communicating to people with a high level of intellect and self-healing themselves. It was a just a mere work of fiction and product of filmmaker’s imagination at that time. But, the time is not so far, when the robots are going to serve mankind in the major sectors. With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with human mimicking behavioral pattern, the future technologies are going to be governed by AI. AI and robotics are two major supports in healthcare, where robotics is doing the high precision jobs with more accuracy and AI is providing them the human intelligence. Some of the major applications are highlighted below.

Early detection:

The process of diagnostic and treatment after prolonged symptoms is going on for long time, which can be critical for many cases and reduces the chance of complete cure, whereas, the early detection is coming up as a major breakthrough in finding the disease and cure. The use of AI is showing satisfactory result in detecting cancer in very early stage without conduction of biopsy. Early detection of cardiac arrest, heart attack and overall heart health are being really important part of health practice. The American Heart Association recommends screening some parameters like Blood pressure, Cholesterol, BMI, Blood sugar, which can state the current stage and predict any future vulnerability using AI [https://www.montefiorenyack.org/highland/press/early-detection-of-heart-disease-can-keep-you-healthy]. In present days, COVID 19 is the biggest matter of concern for healthcare system. There is also a ray of hope to detect early and take the necessary steps to prevent further damage using imaging technique and AI.

Diagnosis

Machine intelligence is showing significant contribution in diagnosis also. IBM Watson uses Natural Language Processing to take human voice instructions and process it to produce a transcript. This is used in healthcare to record medical data and information. Not only that, this helps to analyze state of the individual and receive and convey the symptoms to respective doctors automatically in form of prepared document. Google’s Deep Mind is also working with researchers and scientists to improve the diagnostic system better with help of AI. Apple is also investing a lot of their resources to get large amount of brains to make the overall healthcare system better.

Treatment

The next big thing is treatment. Sometimes, the hospital facility and management cannot provide the doctors the right arrangement and policies to conduct an important treatment procedure. That’s why AI is being introduced to buttress the clinical system, to manage the treatment pipeline and process properly, design an efficient format for critical treatment.

Not only that, robotics is being introduced as nurse in important surgeries and also assistance of surgeons in critical processes. Various labs all over the world are working on robotic nurse and robotic surgeon as well and these are making real progress altogether. 

Tracking health

Regular health tracking is really essential in present days. This is closely related to the early detection method of diseases. As the regular tracking of health parameters provide an overall idea about the individual’s health condition. These trackers use the advance AI technology to give the perfect measurement and Nano technology to implement as a device. There are plenty of health trackers available in market in various forms, such as:

• Fitbit.
• Apple watch.
• Polar Ignite.
• Polar variety sense.
• Garmin HRM- Pro.

And more.

A small fragment of the whole work in healthcare sector including the AI is mentioned here. The revolutionary work is going on to change the complete picture of the healthcare practice. The whole system would be fast, accurate and more precise along with the early treatment possibility and high rate of cure. Many government research organization, private research and development sectors, individual scientists and researchers are trying to explore and find new possibilities to make AI and Robots leading the healthcare system to make a better world.
