Abstract

nIn today’s rapidly evolving world, robots have become integral to various industries, including healthcare. Their precision, efficiency, and ability to perform repetitive tasks have transformed patient care and clinical procedures. While developed countries have embraced robotic technologies, India, particularly Kerala, is still in the early stages of integrating robots into healthcare. Surgical assistance and patient rehabilitation are key use cases. However, this adoption raises ethical, privacy, and regulatory concerns. As technology advances, robots will play an increasingly vital role in healthcare delivery, necessitating thoughtful consideration of ethical implications. This work highlights the promise and challenges of healthcare robotics, emphasizing the need for responsible implementation and ethical safeguards.
