Hospital/Home Medical Assistant Robot

Abstract

Now a day's health-care facilities increasingly depend on health-care staffs. By aging populace, there is an upsurge in number of old people present in the labor force and even in health-care division. It is significant to take care of aging workforce present in healthcare sector. So, for this process hospitals are providing an opportunity to mobile robots because of rapid technological progress accomplished of working and cooperating with humans and surroundings. This paper presents a design of Hospital/home medical assistant robot that consist of both combination of network system and robotics system for transmitting, receiving and sending information to care taker or doctor. As the robot gets a distress signal which is obtained from the patient, it tries to contact the care taker or doctor. If the robot is unable to contact, it will try to find out the location of doctor or the care taker and then display the condition of the patient so that the doctor can act as early as possible. Doctor or caretaker can access the robot at any time and get the live video feed of the patient at any time.
