A father-daughter duo has created a ‘Medi Robot’ that could make great waves in the healthcare field. Akanksha, who is an undergraduate student from BITS Pilani, has created the ‘Medi Robot’ with her father to help healthcare professionals to stay away from direct contact with patients.
This robot can examine infected patients and perform basic diagnostic tests. Not only can it check the blood pressure level, oxygen levels and blood sugar levels, but also doubles up as a nebulizer. It can also be used to transport food and medicine.
Speaking about this robot, Akanksha said, “this robot can not only be used as a transportation tool for food water and medicine to the patient but also be used as a surveillance tool. It offers two-way communication, and a sanitization facility, by means of both liquid sanitization and UV sanitization. In addition to that it also includes oxygen cylinders.”
This not only helps the healthcare professionals who are using it to stay safe, but also helps the patient to get immediate attention and be monitored as and when they have an emergency instead of waiting for someone.
