Abstract:
This paper presents a novel intelligent Automated Hospital Ward Management System (AHWMS) based on a mobile robotic platform named WDBOT for a hospital ward. The need of an automated system including an assisting robot for performing activities in the hospital system is great importance for doctors, nurses, patients and other healthcare assistants due to demanding work load and limited number of personnel. The aim of this research is to provide an automated mobile robot based solution to improve the effectiveness of ward management and medicine management and distribution processes. AHWMS interacts with WDBOT via wireless network to achieve the abovementioned tasks with the help of controlling, image analysis, processing and communication. Verification of the system was done with the help of simulation and physical modeling of some units. This system shows it's use can improve the effectiveness of the present hospital ward management system.
