Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have revolutionized nursing, improving efficiency,   accuracy, and patient centred care. AI algorithms analyse patient data for diagnosis, treatment  plans, and outcome predictions. Virtual assistants and chatbots provide real-time information and  emotional support. Robotics assist with tasks like medication administration, wound care, and  patient mobility. They enable remote monitoring and virtual consultations. Ethical considerations  include patient privacy, data security, and responsible use. Human skills such as empathy and  critical thinking should complement AI and robotics. Integration of these technologies enhances   patient monitoring, diagnosis and treatment, medication management, electronic health records,  rehabilitation, and elderly care. AI algorithms analyse real-time data for monitoring, identifying  health risks, and enabling timely interventions. Robotics facilitate continuous monitoring and remote interactions. AI aids in accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.AI  optimizes medication regimens, and robotics automate dispensing. AI analyses data for decisionmaking and robotics streamline EHR processes. Robotics assist in rehabilitation and provide  companionship to the elderly. Ethical considerations include patient privacy and addressing  biases. Human expertise and compassionate care remain essential. AI and robotics augment  healthcare providers, improving efficiency and decision-making. They transform patient  monitoring, diagnosis, treatment, medication management, EHR utilization, rehabilitation,  and elderly care. These technologies improve outcomes, increase access to care, and enhance  healthcare delivery. AI and robotics have transformed patient monitoring by analysing data for  early intervention and enabling remote monitoring. In diagnosis and treatment, AI aids accurate  diagnoses, while robotics offer precision in surgeries. They optimize medication management   and enhance EHR utilization. In rehabilitation and elderly care, robotics assists with exercises  and provide support and companionship. AI and robotics revolutionize healthcare, but ethical considerations and human involvement are crucial for privacy, trust, and expertise.
