While the concept of robotic healthcare might conjure notions of science fiction, we're living in a time where it isn't as foreign as it might seem. The surge of innovation with regard to healthcare is being supported by a strong attention to the technology world and robotics as a whole. The ways in which we're seeing the healthcare market evolve are truly astonishing; we're becoming more accustom to the idea of automation and exploring the possibilities with open minds rather than anxiety.
This collection of robotic healthcare innovations ranges from fixed equipment to prosthetics and concentrates on the ways we're seeing an exciting mix of solutions that merge the fruits of Silicon Valley with the hospital.
