Learn how medical robots in healthcare are designed, regulated and used

On this course, you will learn what robots are and explore human robot interaction (HRI) in healthcare. You will identify the challenges of designing robots for healthcare and look at what MedTech scientists are doing to solve them.

Using case studies, you will learn why regulations are essential for the safe use of robots and AI in healthcare, and understand the process of bringing a successful product to market.

You will also explore how artificial intelligence is used in surgical procedures, to improve precision diagnostics, in exoskeleton technology, and even for patient care.

What topics will you cover?

• Understanding the history of AI and robotics in healthcare.
• Exploring the features of human-robot interaction.
• Human centred design and challenges when designing robots for use in healthcare settings.
• Regulatory bodies and frameworks within AI and robotics.
• The pathway and process of commercialising healthcare robots.
• How robots are currently being used to assist patients.
• How robots can be used to assist clinicians.
• Exploring the future of robots in healthcare and whether it could result in a loss of human care.
