Robot Doctor: They took our jobs!

Robot is an automation with condition. In my opinion we should not entrust 100% to Robot. Robot might have been set to be precised but thoughts and feeling of humanity are varied in each individual. Be wise never replace humans capibilty with robot.

Actually if we talk about using robots in medicine I think of surgery and there are few things to remember:

  • robots are much more precise, humans need to apply special systems to reduce hand vibrations
  • I heard that if you need to choose a surgeon you want that one who performed many similar operations last week (or month, I don't remember exactly). Robots never loose their skill, they do not forget procedure and can learn via network from each other in seconds - improving their performance.
  • human doctors can make mistakes, be tired, be upset. Even professionals. N/A to robots.

To sum up I would rather rely on robot surgeon than human (assuming the necessary tests were performed and it was properly commissioned)

There were already great and interesting cases of

  • robots replacing ophthalmologists in some eye tests
  • IBM Watson detecting health problem overlooked by humans in x-rays

@globalhshvillage Good articles to read and keep it up.

Amen to that.
