Healthcare industry is perhaps the most crucial sector that can benefit from Industry 4.0 revolution.
Industry 3.0 still deals with a lot of manual work and a plethora of unanswered and untapped
segments that can be exhibited more with the arrival of Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 can be summed up
as a overall of integrated automation processes, smart machines and manufacturing units. Use of
Robotics Process Automation (RPA) and IoT along with medical specialists’ supervision is the ideal
combination that can be the way to proceed ahead when it comes to the health care sector.

Welcome to FORSEdu, a place where all business and supply chain enthusiasts come for a weekly

Industry 4.0 will facilitate various functions when applied in the medical field, mainly:

1. Reduction of cost and time with superior accuracy and quality of work.
2. Better Tools and Material Management
3. Use of blockchain technology for the information management of medical history and
vaccines and medicines, which can used for analysis at any given time.
4. Complex surgeries can be completed with correct control processes. Customization of
artificial organs will be more streamlined and successful.
5. Help in more centralized database for the government to have more data driven policies
with better result oriented solutions.
The technologies introduced into the Healthcare sector due to Industry 4.0 has provided a sense of
security and consummation among the end users and the patients on whom they are used.

Use of Robotics in a surgery room where a doctor controls a robot from a computer sounds too sci fi
but it is a reality now. Risky environments for the surgeons can also be avoided now.

Big Data provides critical insights for prompt and healthier dealing of an illness through meticulous
data analysis of current and historical medical situations of an individual.

One of the biggest achievements in the field of modern day healthcare facilitated by Industry 4.0 is
the use of holography. 3D imaging has enabled Doctors to check on patients without physical
presence of either of them and identification of the level of diseases. This is feasibly the chief
contribution of Industry 4.0 in the field of Healthcare.

3D Printing and Scanning with the help of 3D CAD data, Use of AI to ease diagnosis related difficulties
and drug development, Sensor to check on parameters like blood pressure, temperature and heart
rate are some other technologies that have and are being developed to bring fast paced change in
the field of medicine and healthcare.

This technology revolution has birthed a inimitable milieu for the healthcare industry to cultivate a
landscape where the sky is the limit to what can be achieved . Both the approach of the doctors and
patients, along with the healthcare industry will change, hopefully for the good and new era for
healthcare will transform the industry for good.
