Robotics for Intervention in Healthcare: From Technology to Clinical Practice bridges the gap between deep-core robotic intervention technology and clinical aspects including the physicians and the clinicians working and gives insight in the importance of connectivity at early stage but especially address which aspects are important to speed up the innovation chain.
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
Researchers in the areas of robotics, biomedical engineering, control engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.
