Abstract

The spread of corona virus has been intensive across the globe for the past two years. Medical services are one among the most vital things which can save the people with proper treatment and care. But, the doctors and hospital staff can also have a chance of getting affected with this virus during the treatment. So, robotic implementation can be a big boon in patient monitoring and healthcare services so that human interaction can be reduced with the virus affected patients to a large extent. This approach is not only useful in patient monitoring, but also in treating the patients and helping the staff over there in the hospitals with the robots started making their own mark. The proposed robot includes a Raspberry Pi controller along with appropriate sensors and motor drivers will assist the hospital staff and the patients for updating the patient details, dispatching the medicines in time, and informing the hospital authorities for any abnormal conditions of the patients.
