Robotic applications have often quickly transitioned from industrial to social. Because of this, robots can now engage with people in a natural way and blend in with their surroundings. Due to the lack of medical professionals, growing healthcare costs, and the exponential rise in the population of vulnerable groups like the ill, elderly, and children with developmental disabilities, the use of social robots in the healthcare system is expanding. As a result, social robots are employed in the medical field to entertain and educate hospitalized patients about health issues, as well as to assist the elderly and sick. They are also employed in the dispensing of medications, rehabilitation, and emotional and geriatric care. Thus, social robots raise the standard and effectiveness of medical care. This article explains how patients and healthcare professionals collaborate with robots in the healthcare industry. The objectives of this collaboration are to resolve moral and legal concerns, improve patient outcomes, and improve healthcare delivery. It has a broad range of uses, including telemedicine, rehabilitation, and robotic surgical support. Human-robot interaction is the term used to describe interactions between social robots and people. Many obstacles stand in the way of humanrobot interaction in healthcare, including safety concerns, acceptability issues, appropriateness, usefulness, and the worry that robots may replace human carers. In the end, these difficulties result in a poor adoption rate for robotic technology. As a result, the applications and difficulties of human-robot interaction in healthcare are thoroughly evaluated in this research. This study also reviews future safety prospects from human-robot interaction in healthcare, as well as ethical and usability issues including privacy, trust, and safety, and our aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the use of robots in healthcare, including their applications, benefits, challenges, and prospects, to facilitate a deeper understanding of this evolving field.
