Leonardo da Vinci had many contributions to the healthcare industry, and it has a very big impact on healthcare today. These contributions include: the surgical robot, artificial limbs and synthetic organs, and contact lenses. One of the most famous robots that Leonardo da Vinci designed was called Leonardo’s Robot. This robot was designed to wave its arms, stand, sit, and raise its visor through pulleys and mechanics. Although Leonardo himself did not make the robot himself, his drawings in his notebooks gave people knowledge on how to construct it themselves. Because making the robot was successful, it gave people knowledge that Leonardo had a full understanding of the human body and how it worked. This robot impacts healthcare today because it has increased the surgical precision of a doctor, it has minimized incision size, it has lessened the risk of transfusion, it gives people shortened recovery time, and
