A novel approach to unify robotics, sensors, and cloud computing through iot for a smarter healthcare solution for routine checks and fighting epidemics

Abstract

This paper attempts to project a novel concept where medical sensors, cloud computing and robotic platform are unified to offer state-of-the-art healthcare solutions to a wide variety of scenarios. The proposed solution is most effective if there is scarcity of healthcare providers or if putting them in the field expose them into a high risk environment such as fighting epidemics. In addition, the proposed system will also benefit routine checks in quarantine wards of hospitals where human reluctance of performing routine task by the healthcare providers can be avoided. Finally, it can also assist a doctor as a decision support system by using machine’s capability of number crunching while it examines through patient’s complete history, goes through every medical test reports and then applies data mining for catching possible ailments from his/her symptoms.
