Will Artificial Intelligence be involved in healthcare?

Currently, in the field of modern healthcare, advanced technologies such as bio-3D printing, surgical robots, and artificial intelligence are changing the means of medical treatment and even the medical model, and will promote the development of medicine and reshape the medical industry.

The report said that experts said that the field of health care is one of the most widely used areas of artificial intelligence technology, surgical robots have developed rapidly since their birth in the United States in 1985, and have accounted for more than 60 percent of the global share of medical robots; the growth rate of the surgical robot market in the Asia-Pacific region is significantly higher than in other regions.

From the technical level, surgical robots are still in the stage of robot-assisted, no automation, task automation, and in the future will be to the development of conditional automation, high automation, and complete automation. The use of surgical robots has the advantages of shorter operation time, less bleeding, shorter length of minimally invasive incision, and less soft tissue damage, but it also faces the problems of medical ethics and determination of responsibility for surgical accidents.

With the aging process in China, orthopedic diseases will be explosive growth, surgical robots are useful, the future, biological 3D printing technology can print the human body with biological functions of the active tissue, leading to digital diagnosis, personalized assisted medical care, drug development, cell factories, and other related industries rapid development.

Related research organizations predict that the primary application of bio-3D printing is cell three-dimensional culture, followed by drug testing, and the ultimate goal is whole organ construction. By 2024, the market volume will reach $6 billion.
