Thanks dear Alcy Rodolfo dos Santos Carrara ,

I agree with you. However, in the current Covid-19 pandemic, there have been so many doctors have pass away because of the Covid-19. So, I think, maybe it is better if we could replace some risky job of the doctors by the robots....

It is unimaginable but possible

With the adventure robotic surgeries, telemedicine & similar advance techs in medicine, it is obvious that robotics & AI would handle a lot & minimize risks in medical practice. Robots can't drive doctors into extinction but would not only shoulder some risks but also ease & advance medical practice. Identification of certain cases & diagnosis involves psychological experience & interaction. Robots would be better at implementation.

Robots are possible for everything today. wherever you go robot are there. but the medical professional is very critical and also danger.so without a doctor can't do it. of course future generations every possible using AI .

Dear Nazaruddine Sinaga,

Replace but not completely (the robot can help the doctor enormously) because the dominance remains for the expert in the matter and this for a distant horizon because human intelligence is in perpetual evolution.

Dear Ndalahwa MUSA Masanja , Lanre Daniyan , Krishnaraju Alagarasan , Aparna Sathya Murthy , and Mohamed-Mourad Lafifi ,

Thank you very much for your comments and shares.

In my opinion, due to the demands of the needs and progress in the field of science and technology, we are gradually forced to walk in that direction. Of course there is quite a lot of preparation required, including adjustments to the specialization in the field of medicine. In the initial stages, it might be possible to start with the work of diagnosing the disease. I think, we can afford software to determine a disease precisely, even though the algorithm becomes very complex and requires very large memory. But actually we can try it now by using the supercomputer that we have today. If we get very good results, then we can develop this medical diagnosis system to be used on smaller computer systems or to use cloud systems on the internet.....

I expect medical applications to be among some of the first areas to be operated by robots because of the precision required and of course due to the hazards of infection and contamination. Moreover medical imaging applications would naturally provide outputs in a format understandable by AI and robotics, regarding disease diagnosis

Yes, may be. But that robots should be designed and taught by human professionals, at least to be tuned chronologically with the evolution.

Dear Ranjan Parekh and Atanu Das ,

Thank you very much for your comments. I hope the researchers in this field would like to think about it seriously.

Dear Ahmed Ismail Ebada ,

Thank you for your shares. It was 2 years ago. Now maybe it has been changed.....

I think fully autonomous robots in medical areas will be gradually incorporated beginning in contexts with less responsibilities

Thank you dear Jesús Pérez for your reply.

I don’t think that is achievable in near future. The robotic industry is far from developing automated robot to be replaced and acts as a docto.

Thanks dear Peyman Shokrollahi for your comment.

I agree with you, but we have to think of it.

Best Regards.

No, not at all.

But: exponential medicine will alter the profession of the physician radically.

Dear Stephen I. Ternyik ,

Thank you for your reply and share.

Medicine is a very complex science. Robots can aid a medical doctor but never replace them. Surgical robots are a known aid that help specific types of surgery.

Others are computers and AI software that help diagnostics or drug administration. Robots can really improve the quality of life of medical doctors.

Thanks dear Alcy Rodolfo dos Santos Carrara for your comment.

Nazaruddin Sinaga

may be... to some extent but not completely.

Thanks dear Nirmala S.V.S.G for your reply.

I hope that I will not live to see this time.

Thanks dear Vadim S. Gorshkov for your reply.

Why? Are you afraid to be examined by a robot doctor? Or afraid of surgery? I think if only for consultation, the results might be better than human doctors. Maybe.....

People should be treated by people. It is known that even a conversation with a doctor whom a person trusts brings substantial relief, and sometimes recovery. As for the technological approach to cure, it’s lead to the same thing that military robots are just a different program used.

Can you imagine the consequences of a software malfunction in a hospital, or hacker activity? I can.

Thanks Vadim S. Gorshkov ,

Yes, I understand your principle. Yeah, I can imagine it as I can imagine when my autonomous car is driven by Google software.....

Well, that is true. But it can be regarded as a medical aid. Such as other medical aids equipment. I agree with the point of free of infection.

Thanks dear Alcy Rodolfo dos Santos Carrara for your comment.

Nursing is better suited for robotization.

Worldwide, we often have the problem of some nurses/ laboratory personnel not being able to locate the correct vein depth to enter for medical-related procedures, which often results in a ruptured vessel (i.e. inflammation from damage of vessel walls, acid liquid spills over more alkaline tissues and degrades them) and unnecessary pain for the patient.

Now, if a future robot had a better scanning and analysis capability to locate the necessary vessel under the skin and the depth at which the vessel lies, blood could be drawn less traumatically, and an abocat could be positioned with greater accuracy.

Also, this way, the nurse-robot would be able to miss a nerve, or a blood vessel when providing an injection, which means - less pain and fewer complications for the patient.

In terms of physicians, a better fit would be an AI to be used in teaching, diagnosis-making [i.e. giving more alternatives to a single diagnosis (provided patient's file is accurately reflecting his/her condition - which, on its own, is an issue)], or assisting with the creation of new medications with fewer side effects.

:)

Dear Prof. P. Contreras and Valeria Tananska ,

Thank you for your interesting comments. Yes, I think in the future most of the activity will be handled by an artificial human. That's a futurist told me...

Why not!!!

The robots can help the medical profession.

I agree with Dr. Hamid Mohsin Jadah

I think it is difficult to replace a physician with a robot, but it is possible that the robot is a way for the physician to examine the patients from a separated distances and evaluate their cases without the physician being exposed to the risk of infection. Currently, a lot of research seeks to develop sensors and tools that can be combined with robots to be able to transfer many details according to the patient to the physician, and then the physician can assess the situation. Even the development reaches transferring the feeling to the doctor’s hand, the robot touches and the doctor feels, and this was a part of my work in my PhD research.

Dear Ahmed Fouly Anwer ,

Thank you very much for your interesting comment.

May be.

Thanks dear Mohammad Abdulhai for your reply.

Doctors are not replaceable but doctors will control the robots to assist the doctors

Thanks dear Prasannakumaran Km for your reply.

Hopefully not! Well, depends of which aspects are you discussing here. Surgeon? General Practicioner? Prognosis? Certainly are a lot of tools to assist Healthcare workers in all these activities. I think you need to explore different aspects of medical professions have been already upgraded using other technologies.

Thanks dear Eduardo Benítez Sandoval for your reply.

Of course, not all aspects will be replaced by the robot.

I perceive that Medical Practitioners cannot be totally replaced with Robots because of the social aspect, but will reduce the rate of physical contact with patients that has infectious diseases. Also, it will enhance more efficiency of the medical system, more lives will be saved.

Thanks dear Adetayo Olaniyi Adeniran for your reply and contribution.

Yes, I agree with you.

Best regards,

Nazar

the replacement of robots will be done progressively, for long duration and high precision work, diagnosis and prevention of diseases.

I recommend to read Andres Oppenheimer's book: Save Yourself! The future of work in the age of automation

Thank you very much dear Iván González-Puetate for your reply. It is very interesting.

That's a good question

Thanks dear Ihab A. Satam for your participation.

Recently I interviewed a doctor which is an electrophysiologist Ph.D. expert that has said that for heart surgeries Medical Practioners are abandoning the robot because it is limiting their actuation and producing worst results than what is done by their expert surgeons (great majority is Ph.D. in medicine). Therefore for heart surgery one has to review the way the robot-surgeon "team" is working as they previously thought. Let´s suppose that whatever one is inventing, this professional has to evaluate the design with proper tools for simulating for example. A surgical robot cost a real fortune and has the purpose of alleviating the effort done by the medical doctor. It is a long history of done job that is at a glance of a whole community of competent scientists. Quite interesting debate here Iván González-Puetate

Thanks dear Alcy Rodolfo dos Santos Carrara ,

I agree with you. However, in the current Covid-19 pandemic, there have been so many doctors have pass away because of the Covid-19. So, I think, maybe it is better if we could replace some risky job of the doctors by the robots....

I think about this situation all the time and I have already forwarded two of the links the nice people in this group have gently shared. Sort of humanoid nurse robot on tracks. In terms of product enginering is a big effort for a team of professionals. Let´s not think that medical doctors are just that. Some of them are engineers before being medical doctors. A consortium of well thought companies and research centers can do the job in thesis. Such as it was the case of the artificial heart and the recent heart valve (made out of composite material). The healthcare people need an easy budy to work with that works hard and is easily desinfected afterwards. A great deal of people here in this group have mentioned that Nazaruddin Sinaga Best regards.
