The telepresence robot market is growing constantly due to increasing use in telemedicine
and remote work. Driving this expansion are the increasing demand for remote interactions
and communications, and the operational efficacy these devices have proven to provide.

Utilizing telemedicine will mean that patients can communicate with top specialists
that they wouldn’t have otherwise come across. For those that live in rural areas,
they can now reap the same benefits that someone would who lives in the center of
the city. The convenience would stop travel and allows them to see the top doctor
for a diagnosis. 

In fact, one huge benefit that doctors are already seeing by conducting video conferencing
is that their patients are a lot more open. They will ask honest questions more 
so than they would in the surgery face to face with their doctor. This open honesty
allows doctors to fully understand the patient’s condition and puts them in a much
better position to solve it.

Modern telepresence robots like the [SIFROBOT-4.2 ](https://sifsof.com/product/professional-telepresence-robot-humanoid-design-sifrobot-4-2/)
do more than deliver a patient’s diagnostic information in the hands of an offsite
doctor; they create a virtual presence that allows physician and patient alike to
have an experience startlingly close to the real thing. With sophisticated controls,
advanced imaging, and small, quiet DC motors from, SIFROBOT-4.2 brings high quality
medical care to the farthest reaches of the globe. 

It is worth mentioning that the telepresence robot’s sensors, from laser range finders
to sonar, provide [3D mapping](https://medium.com/@thegeospatialnews/what-is-3d-mapping-5fb86944a96)
of the facility with obstacle-avoidance capabilities. Doctors do not have to worry
about collison and bumping while using the robot as it will automatically handle
tricky situations and environments. Also, aultiple I/O channels enable two-way communication
among doctor, patient, and staffers, while making it easy to interface with diagnostic
equipment. Control can take place remotely via iOS or Android devices.
