Mechanical Engineering Solutions For Healthcare Accessibility And Affordability In Public Health

Abstract

The commercial outlook for the healthcare industry is bright these days, both globally and in India. The need for prosthetics, implants, and surgical equipment, among other specialised or customised medical devices, is growing daily. Investigating personalised medical gadgets is crucial to take advantage of upcoming business prospects. In order to expand this commercial opportunity in terms of customised medical devices, additive manufacturing, or AM, can be extremely important. Further investigation into the public healthcare system revealed that the laparoscopic surgical method necessitates the use of specially made, ergonomic surgical instruments. Because laparoscopic surgery is done by staring at a monitor rather than making direct touch with the organs like open surgery does, surgeons doing this sort of procedure often lack hand-eye coordination. Surgical mistakes were discovered with this surgical method. The laparoscopic surgical instrument is the only interface device, and it must be designed to improve coordination and feel responsive during the procedure.
