Laboratory automation by medical robot - case study and the future-

Summary

With the increasng concern for declining birthrate and aging population in developed countries, medical robotics has been drawing attention as the solution. Medical robots have been reported to be used at a wide range from simple tasks like sample delivery and dispensing to more complicated tasks that require precision and high skils. This session will introduce example cases for utilization of medical robots and discuss the possibility of development of a new form of laboratory testing through the introduction of medical robotics.

Action of the Quality Improvement of the Laboratory using IoMT

Summary

IoMT stands for "Internet of Medical Things", and refers to an idea to connect medical devices and healthcare IT systems through online computer networks.
As more and more medical devices are being connected to netwoks, the spread of the idea of IoMT may allow establishment of a new communication style along with a massive network connecting all healthcare devices. In other words, the accumulation and utilization of medical information is expected to speed up various processes, improve the quality of laboratory, and realize epoch-making diagnosis methods. In this symposium, we would like to discuss on how laboratory operations are transforming and what kind of changes will come in medical testing companies with the advent of IoMT by presenting case examples of its application.
