The recent pandemic has forced researchers to adapt technologies such as robotics and AI in the healthcare field. This book, Robotics and Automation in Healthcare: Advanced Applications, explores these new technologies by focusing on important issues related to the employment of robotics and automation in healthcare, such as in medical diagnosis, treatment, and surgery.

The volume reviews wireless charging of implantable pacemakers, considers smart bot design for library building of medical colleges, and discusses strain distribution in biomechanical systems. Other topics included in the book are medical imaging, drone technology, 3D printing, and image processing techniques. The application and importance of actuators in medical devices, especially during surgery, is discussed, as are wearable devices for pre-identification of seizure development. The volume also looks at a decision support system for detection of suitable robots and early detection of diseases with the support of image processing techniques. The application of nano-robots in healthcare is also explored.

Providing advanced information and insight into robotics, wearable devices, and applications of image processing in healthcare field, this volume will be helpful to those in communications and electronics engineering as well as those at the forefront of smart technology in healthcare.
