Assisting Patients of Contagious Disease

Recently it is observed that the research advancement is very significant in the field of deployable robots for healthcare sector. Considering the current pandemic situation where social distancing is must- healthcare robots can be deployed very easily to perform the manual task resulting in reduced human efforts. In this paper, the design and implementation of an affordable, versatile system is proposed. The system is IoT enabled to meet the current demand and it can be controlled from any platform. The prototype can follow through lines and recognize hospital beds, can autonomously distribute medicines, record patient vital signs, and also has obstacle avoidance capabilities. There's also a 5-DOF arm, which is controllable over wireless medium by hand gestures. The IoT website can control the robot, record medicines, and view patient vitals' data. This work is intended to leave an impact on the healthcare sector of developing countries.
