Emergence of Cyber Physical System and IoT in Smart Automation and Robotics

Abstract

Being one of the most populous countries in the world, India has a healthcare delivery system that consists of both public and private concerns in four levels, i.e., Central, State, District, and Panchayati Raj level. The healthcare system of these levels has a separate database to store the patient history in large numbers and one has to carry his or her medical history in physical form for treatment in separate health centers. Each center has to send noticeable diseases to the health ministry. The objectives of this study are to search for a new area in our healthcare delivery system where digitalization can play a pivotal role, can mitigate any epidemic and pandemic disaster with ease, maintain single cloud-based medical records using single identity card anywhere in India, use biometrics or card number to access the medical history of the patient for a clinical, emergency, preventive, and mitigation using unique identity number (UID), viz. Aadhaar in India.
