Medical robots enter clinical medical applications

Release date: 2010-11-02


The Canadian health department recently announced that it will promote a robot that implements neurosurgery in the country. This medical robot has a particularly sensitive touch that allows doctors to perform microsurgery of the brain with the clearest vision. Its accuracy can reach the level of a single hair, and even the smallest nerves have clear three-dimensional images. In April last year, the robot was successfully used for the first time in the mountain hospital in Calgary.
On May 10 last year, the Royal College of Medicine in London announced that the UK will begin to popularize medical robot nurses in 2010. This will not only alleviate the shortage of domestic nurses, but also greatly improve the efficiency and safety of care, and significantly expand the nursing function. Previously, on April 1st, this "robot nurse" was exhibited in London. The head was equipped with multiple laser and thermal imaging cameras. With the aid of voice recognition technology, it can interact with patients in a timely manner. And block those who are not allowed to go out. The "chest" of the "robot nurse" is a control panel, and some complicated operation instructions can be programmed here. Its "abdomen" is equipped with an infrared sensor that monitors the patient's temperature at any time.
According to the survey report of the Center for Medical Robotics Research, more than 500 medical robots are in service in hospitals around the world. It is a general trend for robots to enter clinical medical applications, and their progress is faster than expected.

Medical robot staff In the three hospitals in Leipzig, Stuttgart and Bochum, Germany, the medical robots are almost silently sliding in the corridors, transporting food, sheets of quilt cover, surgical equipment, etc. to different departments. This practice is not new in itself. What is new is that the robots in these hospitals really reduce the workload of medical staff and give them more time to look after patients. These medical robots work independently and speak to the programmers: "Attention: The car is approaching! Note: This is automatic transportation!"
More than a year ago, eight such medical robots began to help in this hospital. They are less than 50 cm wide and 1.6 m long, and they are flexible enough to travel through the hallway and send things from one department to another. The hospital building is inconspicuous, but the robot is clearly familiar with the road, thanks to a set and its clever control system. Its automatic control navigation system relies on a local wireless network. You can determine the route it needs to take based on the floor plan scanned into the computer in advance. You can rely on the attached radar device to explore the situation in the corridor step by step and avoid obstacles.
The medical robot's automatic control navigation system relies on a local wireless network, which can determine the route it needs to take according to the floor map scanned into the computer in advance, and the robot itself knows when it should be charged.
Japan’s Aizu Central Hospital recently announced that three robotic employees “employed” have been on duty to provide hospitals with hospitality and baggage handling services. This is the first robot to be officially unveiled at a Japanese hospital. One of the three robotic employees is responsible for receiving customers at the entrance to the hospital and answering inquiries. The other two robots are 1.3 meters high, equipped with wheels, and can move freely, with a top speed of 1.5 kilometers per hour. They are porters who are responsible for carrying luggage and leading the way, and can also use sensors to alert people to roadblocks in front of them.
Experts predict that this technology will be applied to the treatment of diseases quickly and believe that this is an inevitable trend in the future. In the United States, dozens of hospitals have used a robotic TV doctor to visit and ward round to alleviate the plight of famous doctors. At Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, doctor assistant Benfrey Piaschini took a robotic TV doctor and came to the patient's bed in Liz Daniel. The 80-year-old Daniel had just finished. Bladder surgery.
The so-called medical robot TV doctor is actually only the "replacement" of the attending doctor Louis Kewsey. Kavosey can control this 1.65-meter-high robot in the office or at home, routinely arranging for Daniel: the robot's TV screen shows the dynamic face of Kelsey, and patients on the bed can pass this A robot, a normal conversation with the doctor, can not only greatly save the time of the attending doctor, but also improve the efficiency of treatment.

Long-distance treatment to save people In life, patients with sudden strokes need to be promptly and promptly treated by doctors, but what if the patient who was sent to the hospital happens to have no neurologists who treat strokes? A remote-controlled medical project launched in the United States provides a solution to this problem. Since February last year, robotics doctors have been employed in 21 hospitals in Michigan, specializing in the treatment of stroke patients under the remote control of medical experts.
The project launched this time is called “Michigan Stroke Network”, which aims to help the stroke medical experts in large hospitals to help small hospitals through advanced technology and to realize resource and technology sharing among different levels of hospitals. Neurologist Richard Fisler, who is involved in the project, said that traditional remote-controlled medical technology relies mainly on static video conferencing for expert consultations. In contrast, robotics have many advantages. Because the robot is dynamic, it can move freely, which makes it easier to operate and more human.
The robotic doctor who specializes in stroke is 1.5 meters tall. The head is a display that shows the image and sound of the doctor on the other end of the network. A camera is mounted above the display to transmit the image and sound of the hospital scene back to the doctor, who can move the robot through a joystick.
With this kind of robot, the hospital is equivalent to having a medical expert on call. Real doctors can remotely control robots to provide treatment services to patients anywhere with a laptop and the Internet.
Jack Weiner, Dean of St. Joseph's Mersey Oakland Hospital, said: "Whether doctors are in Starbucks coffee shops, libraries or in their own homes, they can direct robots through the network as soon as they need it, as if they were in the hospital. To diagnose the condition and provide treatment for stroke patients in the emergency room."
The most important thing is that the robot doctor can solve the urgent need for the hospital lacking experts. The hospital does not need to use an ambulance or helicopter to rush patients to other hospitals. This can reduce the cost of treatment, and more importantly, it can avoid missing key treatment time and delay the patient's condition.

Safe, reliable and efficient Last year, on March 15th, a British lady gave a kidney to her lover. At the suggestion of a doctor at Gai's Hospital, Payne agreed to be a robot named Da Vinci. Perform a kidney transplant with her lover.
The robot, called Da Vinci, was previously used to remove necrotic organs or perform reconstructive surgery. For it, it is the first time that a kidney transplant is so difficult. Not only that, it is also the first robot in the history of the United Kingdom to perform an organ transplant. Although its movements are slower than that of professional surgeons, robotics can work continuously for long periods of time, and its hands never tremble and reliability is greatly improved.
