Final Year Project

Project Title

Tele-Robot for Vitals Monitoring and Management

Description

This project aims to minimize the contact of front-line workers with COVID-19 patients, but not compromising on the quality of care and assistance that is required in these scenarios. This project proposes a robotics solution where the robot measures and assists the patients in covid-19 wards at a significantly lower cost, health risk and better accuracy of health monitoring. The idea is to make a robot capable of recording these vitals without touching a patient, processing them and using its built-in medical intelligence to make a decision related to medication needed by the patient.
