Across every category of healthcare, improvements have been welcomed to effectively improve patient outcomes, manage surges in patient volume, and improve efficiency and accessibility in patient care. Robotics is one technology leading the way, especially in stroke care, where physical or occupational therapists who have traditionally focused on conventional therapy processes now integrate these devices into everyday rehabilitation programs for those who suffer from a neurological condition.  Conventional therapy sessions typically only result in about 30-60 upper limb movements with a patient. However, with the addition of robotics to the session, a patient is able to complete 600 – 1,000 movements in a single session. That increase has a direct impact on the patient’s neuroplasticity and the overall outcome from rehabilitation and return to function. The [data collected from the robot allows](https://www.financedigest.com/datawallet-partners-with-indorse-and-steemit-allows-users-to-earn-profit-for-sharing-data.html "Datawallet Partners with Indorse and Steemit, Allows Users to Earn Profit for Sharing Data") the therapist to make informed decisions to maintain that progress. The benefits of robotics in stroke recovery from efficiency of care to the valuable patient [data collected is a case study for how the larger healthcare](https://www.financedigest.com/european-shares-edge-higher-on-healthcare-lift-weak-china-data-stokes-worries.html "European shares edge higher on healthcare lift, weak China data stokes worries") system can benefit from the use of robotics. **AI-Powered Robotics Bring Precision to Healthcare** Robotics powered by [artificial intelligence](https://www.financedigest.com/types-of-artificial-intelligence.html "Types of artificial intelligence") (AI) bring a heightened level of accuracy to patient care. For stroke patients utilizing these devices, the robot can identify any movement regardless of how small. This ensures patients can see their own progress, even if it’s missed by the human eye. For patients regaining mobility after a stroke, where AI makes the most significant impact is in its ability to [identify the needs](https://www.financedigest.com/what-is-a-legal-entity-identifier-and-who-needs-one.html "What is a legal entity identifier and who needs one?") of a patient who may be struggling with movement, and then responding with adjustments in speed or range to better meet the needs of each individual patient. **Automation of Patient Data &** [Secure Cloud Networks](https://www.financedigest.com/new-demands-on-network-security.html "NEW DEMANDS ON NETWORK SECURITY") Across the hospital ecosystem, [data processing and analysis](https://www.financedigest.com/durham-county-council-reduces-data-log-analysis-costs-by-50-with-real-time-analysis-and-security-tool.html "Durham County Council reduces data log analysis costs by 50% with real-time analysis and security tool") is one area where clinical teams can most adequately automate with the use of robotics. Robots are emerging across every corner of healthcare facilities, from patient check-in to cleaning robots, surgical robots and [monitoring robots that allow doctors to check-in on patients](https://www.financedigest.com/precise-remote-monitoring-to-steal-the-patient-registry-software-market.html "Precise Remote Monitoring to steal the Patient Registry Software Market") from afar. Regardless of their utilization, be it administrative, medical and surgical, or rehabilitation, [data is at the center of the technology](https://www.financedigest.com/manchester-arts-centre-the-lowry-selects-logpoints-siem-technology-to-safeguard-customer-data.html "Manchester arts centre The Lowry selects LogPoint’s SIEM technology to safeguard customer data"). Robotics technology has the ability to go [beyond the surface level](https://www.financedigest.com/ecbs-lagarde-raises-prospect-of-rate-hikes-beyond-neutral-level.html "ECB’s Lagarde raises prospect of rate hikes beyond neutral level") to collect valuable data. With this information in hand, teams can quantify the data to provide useful analytics [across the healthcare ecosystem](https://www.financedigest.com/open-finance-can-help-unlock-innovation-across-the-financial-ecosystem.html "Open Finance can help unlock innovation across the financial ecosystem"). Analysis of [data is key](https://www.financedigest.com/sterling-edges-lower-ahead-of-key-data.html "Sterling edges lower ahead of key data") to offering better patient outcomes. With every patient and prognosis being so unique, valuable [data analytics can provide medical](https://www.financedigest.com/interoperability-of-data-to-accelerate-the-medical-tapes-market.html "Interoperability of data to accelerate the Medical Tapes Market") teams with the ability to make confident decisions, mark progress or diminishment against baselines, and track goals. Patients can now get more involved with their own care as well, accessing [data to see their own improvements](https://www.financedigest.com/how-sd-wan-can-help-financial-services-secure-data-and-improve-the-cx.html "How SD-WAN can help financial services secure data & improve CX") to maintain motivation. For healthcare management teams, accessing [data from newly invested](https://www.financedigest.com/investing-in-the-future-with-alternative-web-data.html "Investing in the future with alternative web data") in robotic devices ensures the technology is being utilized to its advantage. When needed, further education, training, and [support on devices can be provided in a timely](https://www.financedigest.com/how-occupancy-data-can-support-the-banking-industry-in-challenging-times.html "How occupancy data can support the banking industry in challenging times") manner if a decrease in usage occurs. With more [secure cloud](https://www.financedigest.com/cloud-security-and-the-department-of-go.html "Cloud security and the ‘department of go’") networks available, management teams and clinical teams can work together to review patient data. **Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities are** [Adopting New Technologies](https://www.financedigest.com/venom-foundation-and-hub71-partner-to-accelerate-growth-and-adoption-of-blockchain-technologies-from-abu-dhabi.html "Venom Foundation and Hub71 Partner to Accelerate Growth and Adoption of Blockchain Technologies from Abu Dhabi") The growth of the outpatient [market has been fueled by the weight and strain the pandemic has placed](https://www.financedigest.com/concrete-placing-booms-market-notable-developments-geographical-outlook.html "Concrete Placing Booms Market: Notable Developments & Geographical Outlook") on hospitals. The recent demand to [reduce hospital stays paired with overall health care costs](https://www.financedigest.com/latam-airlines-reduces-cost-per-user-by-83-thanks-to-innovative-ad-technology.html "LATAM Airlines reduces Cost Per User by 83% thanks to innovative ad technology") continue to give rise to this model of care.
