IoT based Virtual Doctor Robot
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary.
As we know, recently, COVID-19 affected millions of people all over the world, so in Hospitals, health cares and routine check-ups have become impossible for doctors. The doctor robot is not just a convenience for hospitals; it is now a requirement for all hospitals in emergency and viral situations and infectious diseases.
In this Project, a 4 to 5 feet robot will be designed by using Arduino. It is designed in five steps. First, the line following robot will be designed, and we will ensure that it is functional. The robot will move towards 3–4 rooms and 3–4 virtual beds. An Android app will be designed which user can direct the robot to follow the specified line and travel to the specified bed station.
In the second step, we will design the robot's frame. The next challenge is to design and code the sensors that will detect if anything is blocking the robot's path, and then the robot will be able to move on.
The fourth step is to design, code, and manufacture the medical instruments for check-up. The doctor will tell the robot what to do and he will obtain the desired medical report via the Android App.
Last step is to design and code a QR scanner for reports and also to scan the patient card to verify the patient.
The doctor will use a panel mainly based on IOT to manage the mechanism. Control commands sent online and received by the robot controller. The robot controller works over the Internet. The received commands are received in real time. The motors are operated to achieve the required movement commands. Overall, the base has other functions as well as the battery status, which reacts to the battery charging prompt in good time.
Doctors are sometimes required to report to all hospitals and emergency centres from time to time. However, it is not possible for every doctor to be available at every location at the same time. In order to solve this problem, we tend to develop a virtual doctor mechanism. which allows a doctor to almost move to a place abroad. The system uses a four-wheel drive robotic vehicles for easy navigation.
Project ObjectivesRobotics and automation additionally extend to investigate laboratories wherein they may be used to automate manual, repetitive, and high-quantity duties so technicians and scientists can attention their interest on extra strategic duties that make discoveries show up faster.
Streamlined workflows and chance discount supplied with the aid of using scientific robotics provide price in lots of areas. For example, robots can easy and prep affected person rooms independently, supporting restriction man or woman-to-man or woman touch in infectious ailment wards. Robots with AI-enabled medication identifier software program lessen the time it takes to identify, match, and distribute medication to sufferers in hospitals. As technology evolve, robots will characteristic extra autonomously, sooner or later appearing sure duties totally on their own. As a result, doctors, nurses, and different healthcare employees might be capable of spend extra time offering direct affected person care.
Project Implementation MethodMechanical Structure Desgin:
First of all, we will design the mechanical structure design and Frame of the robot by using AUTOCAD software. After making the feasible desgin, we will implement it in hard form.
Software:
The following Softwares are used for the implementation of the Project.
Arduino IDE:
The software for Arduino is known as the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment). It's a notepad-style text editor with a variety of functions. It's used to write code, compile it to see if there are any issues, then upload it to the Arduino.
Proteous:
The Proteus Design Suite is a closed-source software toolkit primarily used for electrical design automation. Electronic design experts and technicians mostly use the programme to develop schematics and electronic prints for printed circuit board manufacture.
NI MultiSim:
NI Multisim, like NI Ultiboard, is an electrical schematic capture and simulation application. Multisim is one of the few circuit design applications that still uses the Berkeley SPICE simulation software.
Hardware:
After the succesful software implementaion, we will implement it in hardware form by using Arduino, relays, oximeter, LED displays, WiFi Module,Heart rate sensor, temperature sensor module, QR scanner module, Camera module, IR sensor, DC gear motor, Motor Driver, speaker, touch sensor, electronic components, and battery etc.
Benefits of the ProjectRobotics within the medical field allows a high level of patient care, economical processes in
clinical settings, and a secure setting for patients and healthcare workers.
Extraordinary Quality Patient Monitoring:
Medical robots support minimally invasive procedures, bespoke and frequent observation for
patients with chronic diseases, intelligent therapeutics, and social engagement for aged
patients. In addition, as robots alleviate workloads, nurses and alternative caregiver’s offers
patients additional fellow feeling and human interaction, which may promote long-run wellbeing.
Efficient Clinical Workflows:
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) modify routine tasks, scale back the physical demands on
human employees, and ensure a lot of consistent processes. These robots will address staffing
shortages and challenges by keeping track of inventory and putting timely orders to assist
confirm supplies, equipment, and drugs are available wherever they're needed. Improvement
and medical aid AMRs alter hospital rooms to be sanitized and prepared for incoming patients
quickly, permitting workers to target patient-centric and value-driven work.
Safe Work surroundings:
To assist keep health care staff safe, AMRs are wont to transport provides and linens in
hospitals wherever microorganism exposure could be a risk. Cleansing and medical aid robots
limit pathogen exposure whereas serving to scale back hospital no heritable infections
(HAIs)—and many healthcare facilities are already exploitation them1. Social robots, a kind of AMR, additionally help with serious lifting, admire moving beds or patients that reduces physical strain on healthcare workers.
IoT based Doctor Robot can do regular medical checkup anytime. When Doctor Command Robot by using mobile it will immediately follow instructions. Robot will speak bed number and what it wants to check after reaching to patient. Robot has ability to sense if any object comes in front of it and it will stop and speak like "please take a side" or turn on the buzzer. It will alerts if it's charging is low. Doctor can track its path but only one user can have its control at a time. Additional functions it can scan QR codes and send the data to user.
