Analytical/ Critical Reflection

Greetings to all, It has been 13 weeks since my first blog post and this might just be the last. I am writing this reflection for my fellow readers to understand how I have developed myself after taking up an Effective Communication module. My first assignment was to share my strengths & weaknesses and elaborate on my goals for the module. It did not take long before I started typing away, a simple informal letter for my readers to read at their own reading pleasure. Little did I know, there was more to simply expressing my thoughts. Reviewing what I had written then, I am thankful that I am able to witness how I have progressed over time. The next assignment was not something that I was looking forward to, honestly. I had to research a given topic before drafting a design summary. For this assignment, I was taught how to paraphrase selected key information, summarise within a word limit, and apply the appropriate citation skills. I felt that it was nothing new to me, but I w

Students from Case Western Reserve University claimed in a report, "5 Medical Robots..." (2020), that there are several advantages to designing medical robots for use in healthcare. All the robots in this list are currently implemented in hospitals to "improve the quality of care and outcome."  In their specifically designed fields, the da Vinci Surgical robot and the CyberKnife both provide the highest precision available to their users. The da Vinci robot is mainly used for routine surgery by surgeons, while the CyberKnife is specially used to treat tumors in much-extended areas, especially areas where surgery is complex. The Xenex Germ-Zapping robot is another example of improving "quality". It is intended to disinfect hospital rooms automatically within minutes, effectively killing a wide variety of infectious bacteria in the process. The following medical robot, the PARO, which is an interactive therapeutic robot that comes in a form of an adorable an

"Medical Robots" Design Summary - Draft 1

In the article, '5 Medical Robots…' (2020), students from Case Western Reserve University suggests that there are many benefits in developing  medical   robots for use in healthcare. A few robots in this list are being used in hospitals to 'improve quality of care and outcome'.  Both the da Vinci Surgical robot and the CyberKnife provides top precision required in their specialized fields. The surgical robot is used by surgeons for their routine operations while the latter is used to treat tumors in extended areas, especially areas that were surgically complex to operate on. Another example of improving 'quality' is the Xenex Germ-Zapping robot. It is designed to automatically disinfect hospital rooms within minutes, effectively killing a wide range of infectious bacteria in the process. The other robots in the article, such as the PARO Therapeutic robot has proven to ‘reduce stress and provide comfort’ for elderly patients. Lastly, the TUG is an autonomou
