Robotics in Health Care System

Abstract

Today, when discussing the societal significance of robotic applications, the first example that usually comes up is the deployment of assistive technology in healthcare settings. Despite concerns regarding their technical preparedness and the absence of realistic use scenarios in regular nursing practice, so-called caring robots are touted as solutions to the nursing problem. Investigate the relationship between social robots and medical assistance. Three areas of activity—innovations policy, care organizations, and robotics engineering—are examined to illustrate how the two are mutually accessible. Begin by examining the "logics" of care robotics as they are discussed in the context of European innovation policy, then reveal the tensions that have been building up between care robotics and healthcare organizations over time and finally demonstrate how care scenarios are being employed in robotics research and development. Based on this analysis, it provides a three-pronged criticism of healthcare robots that highlights the political, historical, and social context in which robotics care for the elderly operates.
