IOT Virtual Doctor Robot

Abstract

Doctors are usually needed to work at every hospital and emergency center every now and then. But it is not feasible for every doctor to be available at every place at desired time. The problem with video calling is that video calls need to be done from a PC or laptop on a desk. This limits the doctor’s capacity to view patient or around operation theatre at will or even move through hospital rooms as needed. To help solve this issue we here develop a virtual doctor robot that allows a doctor to virtually move around at a remote location at will and even talk to people at remote location as desired. This robot provides a whole lot of advantages for doctors: Doctors’ ability to be at anyplace anytime, Doctors can move around in operation theatres, Doctors can move around the patient with ease, Doctors can see medical reports remotely via video calls, Doctors can move around in other rooms at will. The system makes use of a robotic vehicle with 4-wheel drive for easy navigation. The robot also includes a controller box for circuitry and a mounting to hold a mobile phone or tablet. The mobile or tablet is used to hold live video calls. The doctor can use an IOT based panel to control the robot. The control commands sent online are received by the robot controller. The robot controller operates over Wi-Fi internet. The received commands are received in real time and the robot motors are operated to achieve the desired movement commands.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

There is a growing trend in the medical field to minimize the need for hospitalization, moving several health care procedures from hospitals (hospital centric) to patient's homes (home-centric). This strategy has been raised mainly due to its possibility for improving patient's wellness and treatment effectiveness. It can also reduce the costs of the public health system worldwide and its efficiency, which in the last decade has been challenged by the population aging and the rise of chronic diseases.

For this purpose, Internet of Things (IoT) provides the scalability which supports continuous and reliable health monitoring on a global scale. This paradigm is increasingly becoming a vital technology in healthcare. Furthermore, the recent progress in low-power consumption, miniaturization,

and biosensors has revolutionized the process of monitoring and diagnosing health conditions.

For patients' de-hospitalization the platform proposed initially were designed, by including wearable and unobtrusive sensors. The software is developed and the components are guided by the Reference Architecture for IoT-based Healthcare Applications for a real intensive care unit (ICU) and the interoperability with existing multiparametric monitors.

Conclusion

Using IoT based virtual doctor robot, the burden of a doctor can be reduced during the busy schedule. The waiting time of the patients can be reduced. Primary patient monitoring and patient caring assistance with daily activities is achieved. For user friendly, we designed \"Doctor robot\" with manual and autonomous control system. Doctors from anywhere in the world will be able to show the all-patient data without touching the patient through the IOT system and make communicate video calls with the patient. We believe this robot will go a long way in alleviating the lack of adequate doctors in medical services around the world. Clinical robots help with a medical procedure, smooth out emergency clinic coordinated factors, and empower suppliers to concentrate on patients. Robots in the clinical field are changing the way that medical procedures are performed, smoothing out supply conveyance and sanitization, and saving time for suppliers to draw in with patients. Clinical robot market is relied upon to acquire market development in the figure time of 2022 to 2028.
