Description

Robotics for Intervention in Healthcare: From Technology to Clinical Practice bridges the gap between deep-core robotic intervention technology and clinical aspects, including content that is appropriate for physicians and clinicians. The book gives insights on the importance of connectivity in early stages, thoroughly addressing which aspects are important to improve the innovation chain.

Key features

  • Addresses the paths for support with small robots taking over subparts of the patient workflows

  • Addresses paths to reorganize healthcare where clinicians can focus on patient contact and control main decisions while robotics can take over high precision tasks

  • Shows different applications and cases in rehabilitation and healthcare technologies

  • Includes expert clinical perspectives and characteristics covering the entire clinical innovation triangle including regulation, business, and SME perspectives to boost high quality robotic solutions for intervention

Readership

Researchers in the areas of robotics, biomedical engineering, control engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.
