"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
In August 2018, a group of scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tokyo Institute of Technology demonstrated a foldable origami robot. This robot can be ingested into the human body and can be controlled by using magnetic fields. According to data published by Diligent Robotics in 2018, “carebots”, the robotic nurse can undertake an estimated 30.0% of workload of nurses in hospitals, which can lead to improved efficiency of workflow in hospital processes. Medical robots are extensively used in surgical procedures, patient rehabilitation and automation of clinical processes.
The precision and workflow accuracy helps healthcare institutions to avoid infections and to offer better patient experience. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hospital-acquired infections affect an estimate of 1 in every 25 patients admitted to the hospital inpatient setting, and mortality rate of patients suffering from hospital-acquired infections is estimated to be around 11.0% in the U.S. per year. In 2015, Xenex manufactured a medical robot named “Xenex Robot”, which is capable of destroying microorganisms theatre responsible for hospital-acquired infections. Westchester Medical Centre reported an estimated 70.0% drop in hospital-acquired infections owing to efficiency of Xenex Robot, which the medical center installed in 2016.
