Medibot-Healthcare Robot Assistant for Remote Communities

Across the world, the lack of proper healthcare resources in rural areas significantly impacts the physical and economic well-being of individuals living there. There is a need for multi-faceted solutions to help alleviate healthcare issues in these areas. Medibot is a robot which monitors the health of individuals in these areas and takes appropriate measures. Patients visit Medibot for daily non-invasive monitoring of their vitals and then receive updated guidance or are connected with a healthcare professional for immediate support. The robot provides an easy way to get continuous care for those with limited access to healthcare resources or facilities.

Abstract

Across the world, the lack of proper healthcare resources in rural areas significantly impacts the physical and economic well-being of individuals living there. There is a need for multi-faceted solutions to help alleviate healthcare issues in these areas. Medibot is a robot which monitors the health of individuals in these areas and takes appropriate measures. Patients visit Medibot for daily non-invasive monitoring of their vitals and then receive updated guidance or are connected with a healthcare professional for immediate support. The robot provides an easy way to get continuous care for those with limited access to healthcare resources or facilities.
