Robots In The Nursing Field

Nursing is a very important job in modern times. Most of the developed countries ‘import’ their nurses from the developing nations. Similar import was happening for other sorts of cheap labor earlier, but they have since been replaced by machines. This allows the developed nations to further save money from the costs of the workforce. Nursing though is yet to be made mechanical by the scientists. This is because of the difficulty in emulating all of the tasks that a common nurse can do. Nurses in Hong Kong are mostly from other countries or mainland China too. The hospitals often do trainings for the improvement of their qualification, but if they were to give the nurses a helping hand with automated robots, that would be even better.
Benefits of Robots
The robots can bring plenty of benefits to the health industry. They currently help in many tasks. One of the earliest applications of a robot was Puma 560, which performed transurethral resection of the prostate (Lanfranco et …show more content…
“It is still important for nurses to embrace this technology, and use it to clarify nursing functions. Failure to recognize the impact of this technology on nursing practice will compromise the chance to guide our future and define the role of nursing in the health care technology revolution” – states one of the leading blogs (Paula Francis, Howard N. Winfield, 2006). Obviously, it would be better if the robot producers worked on them anyway, to ensure that in the future in case of decrease in the number of trained nurses, some sort of alternatives is available. On the other hand, this would require heavy subsidies from the government. I believe the best solution would be if the hospitals were given a few robot nurses for the start so they could assist the human nurses in the most casual
