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.
