Medicine delivering and patient parameter monitoring robot

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of medical technology, the infusion of robotics presents a promising avenue for enhancing patient care and safety in hospitals. This research paper introduces MedRobo, an automated robotic system designed to deliver medicines and monitor crucial patient parameters including heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2. The implementation of MedRobo aims to minimize human- to-human contact within healthcare facilities, thereby reducing the risk of transmission of contagious diseases such as COVID- 19 among medical staff and patients. The system utilizes Radio- frequency Identification (RFID) for navigation and identification, alongside a line follower algorithm guided by infrared sensors for precise locomotion to patient locations. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables real- time data acquisition and transmission to the cloud, facilitating immediate access by healthcare professionals. Additionally, the deployment of a GSM Module ensures prompt communication with doctors when patient readings deviate from normal thresholds. This paper details the design, implementation, and operational efficacy of MedRobo, exemplifying its potential to revolutionize patient care delivery and safety in medical environments.
