Health Care Cares for Your HealthHealth Care Cares For Your HealthIn the past few decades, technology has become an extremely important tool in daily life. We are using our phones everyday to make local and international calls; the computer is an efficient equipment compares to the mail; people live longer due to the sophisticated pharmaceutical technology. Due to the improvement of high technology, people could use more personalized drugs, which has greatly advanced the health care. Frank Moss is an entrepreneur and former director of the M.I.T media Lab. I am going to use Moss’s article “Our High-tech Health Care Future” to examine the positive benefit about the health care in the future. There are challenges waiting for us, but high-tech health care would help people live healthier and longer lives.
In the short future, People will become familiar with a “digital nervous system.” The system will help the individuals monitor their health condition. In 2020, I would get up with my sleepy eyes, and head to the bathroom. Moss stated, “Your bathroom mirror would calculate your heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen level”(Par.6). If the temperature in my room is too high, I would turn down the air condition by using the digital mirror, and also press the fresh air button to enjoy a deep breath of nature air. Moss also explained, “Your vital signs and track the daily activities that affect your health, counting the number of steps you take and the quantity and quality of food you eat” (Par.6). In this early morning, breakfast would be the key to wake me up. The digital mirror would connect to the kitchen, and automatically analyze the best healthy breakfast for me that day, according the data from the digital mirror. “Software that could analyze and visually represent this data would enable you to truly understand the impact of your behavior on your health and suggest changes to help prevent illness”(Moss, Par.8). This daily check-up would help me to have a healthier life.
While I am exercising before my job, I would wear a wristband, which is different from the digital wristband we have now. I would not need to hire a house servant anymore. According to Blanco, who is an expert in advanced robotics, avionics, genomics, and biotechnology said in “Robotics and Health Care: A New Growth Market”, “improved robotic automation is one of the fastest way to increase productivity and reduce labor cost”(Par.4). The wristband would connect to my house robot who would monitor my health. It also sends a copy to my doctor’s office in case there is any issue with my health. “Many situations would still call for professional medical attention, of course, but in most cases you wouldn’t need to make a costly trip to the doctor”(Moss, Par.7). The robot would pay much more attention to my health than I would, I wouldn’t need to worry about my physical condition. The
I do not worry for the robot and I don’t worry for the job I take the robot to perform. If you are working in the same job I would say that is what you are doing (Par.1), and even if in the future you had to take a different career path it will come as no surprise that the medical profession is now using more advanced medical automation as the primary means of obtaining healthcare in more remote areas, which can require more professional knowledge and more experience and effort (Cameron, 2012).
The following table summarizes the benefits that robot workers receive, based on their quality and ability, in the health care industry (Table 1). The benefits in medical automation would be as follows:
The automation would reduce the time it takes a robot to perform an operation, which is by more than twofold, due to the greater cost of a replacement. The robotic labor is far simpler to perform than the work, and it would be less stressful because a robot can perform more in the absence of a human.
Robot labor costs in the U.S. will also increase by 100 percent. A robot worker who is performing basic medical tasks in a more conventional setting, such as a hospital, would save nearly $80,000 the cost ($500 or $1000 per hour).
A robot worker who spends time working in a non-traditional profession in a less typical setting, such as one that focuses on family and job security, would save roughly $3,050 with fewer days/year spent without a human. They could get away with it, but they would be spending a lot less with no job security, and are less likely to have advanced training and advanced procedures in the near future in which they are required in order to do so (Cameron, 2012).
These benefits would be even more significant for health care automation than it currently is. As Dr. Brad Schoenberg wrote about at the time,
When you add up all the automation costs that went into the U.S. workforce in 2011/12 and 2014/15, it costs the average worker about $22 per hour in healthcare automation. We can add in those costs to the cost of living for every other US worker — and we have done this a hundred times in the years since then.
One is clear from the table above that if you are working remotely, you should keep your hands on the controllers and that you would use a little bit more labor to do more. However, you do need to put some more effort in doing things like running a diagnostic check, performing a procedure, or cleaning. I believe that every new robotic technology is taking on additional complexity and making it better and smarter to work on less in the future than it already has.
Additionally, I am optimistic that robots are replacing jobs that aren’t available to them. The more common occupations that are available to robots today can be automated in many ways, including a variety of medical procedures, emergency procedures, and life support. (Cameron, 2012). Therefore, this table demonstrates that in a future where automated medicine would continue to be a work at home automation, there does NOT appear to be a need for more than one or the like.
I am particularly enthusiastic in my optimistic comments about robots working in a home automation environment. When it comes to
