EcoMedRobo: Greentech Robotics for Physically Impaired Assistance and Mobility Autonomy

Abstract: This research introduces an independent solar-powered robotic system designed specifically to assist and care for elderly and physically disabled persons, embedding Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to improve accessibility and responsiveness of healthcare services. The system has a wireless relay system, allowing remote control and intervention by medical staff, thus making continuous patient monitoring and initial diagnostics possible. At the centre of the design is a robotic nursing unit that can travel autonomously to the patient's bedside, offering audio-guided instructions and performing basic hygiene services like automatic hand sanitization. To facilitate real-time health monitoring, the robot comes with essential diagnostic equipment in the form of a thermal scanner, pulse oximeter, and glucometer that enable the capture of vital health parameters. These data are transmitted securely to medical professionals through an integrated telemedicine platform that supports remote consultation, diagnosis, and treatment advice. The system focuses on sustainable energy consumption through the integration of solar power, facilitating long-term deployment in urban and rural healthcare settings. The application of this robotic solution illustrates great promise in enhancing medical service provision, patient independence, and distant healthcare effectiveness, particularly in areas with restricted access to timely medical care.
