Should robotics be used more instead of doctors and nurses for providing healthcare in the future?
Robots lack empathy
Interacting and sharing emotions between doctor / nurse and patients are critical
Difficult to build trust without psychological connection
Patients are more likely to trust human experiences rather than programmed knowledge
May recommend solutions that are not suitable for some patients
Person-to-person interaction may be more valued in the future
As social interaction is becoming more distanced
Increase efficiency
Cost effective
Reduce required number of health professionals
In reality...
High costs
Robots have high maintenance costs
Costly to train the staffs
Require training done by medical professionals
May require additional specialists who can control and supervise the robots
Still involve the work of human
Robots should be consistently observed by the staffs
& Controlled by surgeons when in surgery
As the number of robots increase, the number of specialists may be needed to increase
Possibility of errors
Mechanical failure as well as human errors are at concern
Mechanical problems are not at concern if decisions made by doctors or nurses
In case with surgical robots, leakage of electrical current can cause further damage to the patient
Difficult to judge who is under responsibility if the robots misdiagnose or malfunction
Unpredictable
Unlikely that further advancement of technology will reduce or eliminate technical problems
