Abstract

Soft robots can revolutionize tailored therapy. Personalized medicine tailors a patient's treatment to their genetics, lifestyle, and medical history. Soft robotics in personalized medicine gives a unique potential to build safe, efficient, and tailored medical treatments. Soft robots employ soft, flexible materials that fit the human body. They are ideal for surgery, rehabilitation, and medicine administration, where precision and safety are critical. Soft robots are safe and can interact with people, making them ideal for healthcare. Surgical soft robotics may be employed in personalized medicine. Soft robots can do less invasive surgeries with fewer incisions and tissue damage. This may help people heal faster and with fewer issues. Soft robots can also perform surgery in hard-to-reach areas without traditional surgical equipment. Rehabilitation institutions may use soft robots to help patients recover. Soft robots may help those with mobility issues. Soft robots may also provide patients feedback during rehabilitation, improving range of motion and functioning. Drug delivery, surgery, and rehabilitation may be conducted using soft robotics. Soft robots can administer drugs to tumors and other harmful regions. This may reduce drug side effects and boost efficacy. Soft robotics may be beneficial in personalized medicine, but several challenges must be overcome before this technology can be extensively employed in clinical settings. One of the biggest challenges is creating soft robots that can work reliably in the complex human body. Soft robots must do their duties precisely and correctly while enduring physiological stress. Soft robot control systems are also tricky. Conventional control methods struggle to govern soft robots due to their great flexibility and deformability. Soft robots need novel control techniques to move and behave in real-time. Finally, soft robotics in personalized medicine provides a unique opportunity to build highly tailored, least invasive, and secure medical interventions. Soft robots might revolutionize medication delivery, rehabilitation, and surgery. Before soft robots are extensively employed in healthcare, various challenges must be overcome. Soft robots need additional study and development to fully fulfill their promise in tailored medicine.
