Track: Product Design and Development

Abstract

The active hospital is aspiring to accelerate services to patients and to reduce the burden of doctors and nurses by reducing the number of mistakes. The main purpose of this study is to develop a Nurse Robot (NR) system that acts as a diagnostic device that is programmable with a multi-function manipulator designed to help doctors and help patients recovering better.

The main contribution behind this paper is to deliver a multi-functional robotic system that works on reading human vital signs. The system will be implemented using Arduino Uno that enables us to use multiple sensors for the reading pins. The output pins are used for the robot interaction with the patients, based on the input data. Using the speaker as an output sound will be the way of interaction. While using infrared (IR) sensors to enable the robot to read the human availability, that is, IR is used to recognize if the patient stands in front of the robot, using IR light beams, and Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology to read the patient tag provided by the hospital as his identity.
