In recent years, under the trend of “machine-for-human”, a variety of robots have appeared more and more in our surroundings, and with their respective missions and design intentions, they have been widely active in all major fields of production and life.
Just like the robot characters with different functions in the movie, there are “WALL-E” which can be applied in the field of environmental protection, “Terminator” which can be applied in the field of military, and of course “Big White” which can be applied in the field of medical treatment. The “Big White” can also be used in the medical field.
However, in reality, the robots used in the medical field are not “Great White”, but a strong lineup of medical robots for surgery, diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation, transportation and nursing care, etc. Among them, rehabilitation robots are undoubtedly the most popular in the medical field.
Among them, rehabilitation robots are undoubtedly the most doctors and patients of the same concern, because the rehabilitation of robot development and application of less difficult to say, the outbreak of the market demand for rehabilitation and rehabilitation of medical problems in the field continue to highlight the value of rehabilitation robots embodied in the broad stage.
As we all know, rehabilitation medicine as an important part of modern medicine, has always been the focus of attention to the development of medical care in all countries, China is also vigorously promote the deepening development of rehabilitation medicine. However, in the competition with foreign developed countries and catch up, we have been in the service system, social health insurance, infrastructure and other aspects of the disadvantage, the current stage of a variety of problems continue to erupt, so that the domestic rehabilitation health care potential delayed release, the development of the development is not optimistic.
Specifically, the current outbreak of basic problems in China's rehabilitation health care contains two, both insufficient supply and institutional imperfections. Insufficient supply can be divided into lack of rehabilitation professionals, insufficient rehabilitation medical institutions and backwardness of rehabilitation infrastructure, which together lead to the fact that although the domestic demand for rehabilitation is increasing day by day, there is never enough capacity to meet it.
As for the imperfection of the system, it also shows three major characteristics. The first is that the intervention of early rehabilitation is not timely and effective, and the patients' golden recovery period is not given due attention and grasped, which not only greatly reduces the final efficacy of the rehabilitation treatment, but also leads to the lack of close connection between the rehabilitation training and the clinical diagnosis and treatment;
The second is the non-standardization of the rehabilitation referral, which leads to the slow cycle of the rehabilitation, the long stay in the hospitals, and the follow-up treatment is not smooth, as well as the hospitals are overloaded; and the third is the imperfections of the medical insurance policy, which leads to the medical expenses and the lack of the medical care system. Third, the imperfection of medical insurance policy, resulting in high medical costs, so that many patients in the rehabilitation of medical care before the deterrent.
The emergence of the above two major problems, hindering the development of China's rehabilitation health care stumbling block, in the face of such a grim basic status quo of rehabilitation health care, our country needs to make effective adjustments and changes, which has also become the main reason for the emergence of rehabilitation robots.
The application of rehabilitation robots, although it can not completely overcome all the above problems, but can bring positive changes to doctors, patients, the industry and the market, through part of the effective solution to the problem, can greatly promote the forward development of rehabilitation medicine.
For example, with the help of rehabilitation robots, doctors can be freed from the heavy task of rehabilitation, greatly reducing the pressure and burden of work, improve work efficiency; at the same time, rehabilitation robots as an important medical equipment to enhance the lack of domestic medical infrastructure, the lack of professionals to fill a certain fill, but also significantly reduce the cost of rehabilitation of the patient; in addition, rehabilitation robots to bring technological innovations In addition, rehabilitation robots bring technological innovations, and even drive the improvement of rehabilitation medical level, the application value is very great for both doctors and patients.
With unrivaled application efficacy, the future of the rehabilitation robot is very likely to become the main force of the rehabilitation medical market, to obtain rapid and mature development.
This is not a simple guess, at present, the domestic aging population, the disabled population and the number of people with chronic diseases is increasing, the demand for rehabilitation is very strong, the resulting rehabilitation market size in 2016 has reached 27 billion yuan, the future development potential is extremely considerable, which gives the development of rehabilitation robots provide an important market driven.
At the same time in recent years, the state's support for rehabilitation robots is also increasing, with the introduction of the “Healthy China 2030 Planning Program” and other documents, the relevant health insurance system is improving, the application of rehabilitation robots will be more inexpensive, which is undoubtedly one of the major positive factors to promote the future development.
However, in the longing and rejoice in the future good development of rehabilitation robot, we still need to see the existing many deficiencies and development difficulties.
Observation, at the moment, China's rehabilitation robot has a humane, personalized on the many shortcomings, the actual application effect is not optimistic; multi-platform is also a lack of synergistic control between the machine, the coordination between the machine, the human-machine interaction is not ideal; robot autonomy and adaptive capacity is also relatively weak, the level of intelligence is not high enough, the human-machine interaction capabilities are defective ......
In addition to the technology and function of the robot itself, there is also room for further improvement in terms of capital drive, policy guidance and market standardization, while the high-end market is monopolized by foreign countries, overly dependent on imports, the situation of high cost is also urgent to break through. In short, the current development of China's rehabilitation robots is far from satisfactory, the development process still need to continue to overcome the difficulties in order to usher in a brilliant tomorrow.
