Abstract
This article discusses how different technologies based on the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) can improve the diagnose and treatment on oncological health area. This is a qualitative, exploratory field research adopting the modified Delphi method. It analyzed the vision of a group of specialists and presented future technological scenarios for the area of oncological health, focusing on the technologies and tools of I4.0, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, robotization, 3D printing, virtual reality, augmented reality and Big Data. The results show that I4.0 technologies are applicable in the area of oncological health. Furthermore, although the technologies are applicable, there may be different levels of benefits for each one, varying between the intensity of the treatment or the impact on the administrative staff. The benefits to the management processes and, mainly, to the patients, will vary according to the way of using the not invasive technologies, degrees of precision and reliability. The specialists strongly recommend the applications and pointed to the advances of the protocols of cancer treatment because the introduction of I4.0 technologies resources.
Key words: Industry 4.0. Technology on Oncology Health. Industry 4.0 tools. Technologies applied to Oncological Health. Support to oncology diagnose and treatment.
