Garcia Gomez, M.

According to TechNavio, “the worldwide market for Robotics in Healthcare is forecast to reach $10,634 million by 2012, being the growth rate expected to be more than 22 percent for 2009 and then gradually increase to 27 percent for 2012”.

The fact is that the use of Robotics in Healthcare has still not been used to its maximum potential. So far, it is mainly used for surgical purposes. “Accuracy, smaller scars, less blood loss and pain” are some of the major advantages of using robots for surgery.

TechNavio Insights has recently published the report “Robotics in Healthcare 2008-2012” which, apart from presenting current and potential applications of Robotics in Healthcare, has collected information such as market trends, forecasts, categorical and geographic segmentation, growth drivers, barriers and even key vendors and conferences.
