Robotized Medicine Modern Robotic Systems in Healthcare

A groundbreaking achievement has taken place at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSHRC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where a heart team successfully completed the world's first fully robotic heart transplant. A groundbreaking achievement has taken place at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSHRC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where a heart team successfully completed the world's first fully robotic heart transplant. The remarkable procedure, which lasted approximately two and a half hours, was performed on a16-year-old patient suffering from end-stage heart failure. Notably, the patient specifically requested that the surgical team refrain from opening his chest. Leading the transplant was Dr. Feras Khaliel, MD, PhD, who, along with his team, underwent rigorous preparation, conducting practice sessions seven times over three days. According to KFSHRC, the use of advanced robotic technologies in cardiac procedures presents significant advantages, ...

Researchers have achieved a significant milestone by successfully connecting robotic limbs to the nervous system of a patient. This groundbreaking procedure aims to enhance the comfort and reliability of prosthetic devices. A Swedish woman, who lost her arm in a farming accident and had been suffering from phantom limb pain, expressed that the treatment has given her “a better life”. Wearable robotics are making strides in commercial applications as well. Outdoor apparel brand Arc’teryx, in collaboration with Skip, a company founded by former Google employees, has introduced powered hiking trousers designed to assist users with mobility challenges. The field of robotics is also advancing the realm of telemedicine, which involves the remote care of patients. Perceptive, a Boston-based start-up, claims to have executed the first fully robotic dental procedure leveraging completely automated dental technologies.
