IoT Based Smart Medical Assistive Robot

This paper highlights the growing significance of robotics in the healthcare industry, specifically focusing on ensuring the safety of healthcare workers such as doctors and nurses by minimizing direct person-to-person contact. The core objective of this project is to introduce a robotic system designed to operate within predefined paths, providing a versatile solution for various healthcare settings. The robot's movements and actions are pre-programmed and executed through an Arduino nano board, guided by signals received from RFID tags. Its primary functions include dispensing medication and collecting medical waste from infected individuals. To enhance its capabilities, this prototype incorporates a Node MCU unit that enables real-time monitoring and display of patients' physiological parameters, such as pulse and temperature, on a dedicated webpage. Through the integration of robotics and advanced technology, this research aims to revolutionize healthcare practices, ensuring improved safety and efficiency for both patients and healthcare professionals.
