IRJET, 2022
The end of 2019 and the start of 2020 remained the time of the world's largest medical emergency due to the coronavirus disease known as COVID-19, which is spreading all over the world. It spreads the infection to anyone who is in close contact with the sick person. This is the primary cause of the viral pandemic. For doctors, dealing with patients is the hardest part. Sufficient medication is required for affected patients during care. Due to the repercussions of swallowing, it spreads to the person from the affected person. Therefore, an automatic robotic system was created for patients who were placed in quarantine in order to solve the issues. In order to simplify life, humans are adopting robots in a variety of fields, according to today's developing technologies. In the meantime, the healthcare system makes use of robots to care for patients. By maintaining social distance, doctors can remotely check on a patient's health in the system that has been presented. The patient will receive food and medicine via a robotic cart. The suggested system also includes a mobile application that may be used to call a doctor and other medical teams in an emergency. The arrangement will allow the medical personnel to care for the most patients in the shortest amount of time. Additionally, it will allow them to create social distance in order to focus more on patients who are seriously affected. This system can be used to sanitize the areas of the hospital with the help of UV LEDs connected to this model. Social transmission will be significantly decreased by the proposed method. Additionally, it minimizes the rate of severe cases as well as the localization of severe diseases.

International Journal of Experimental Research and Review, 2023
The main objective of this paper is to design and develop a virtual doctor robot (VDR) that will operate on the command of the actual doctor available far away from the patient through new technology AI and IoT. It is not possible for doctors to be present everywhere and every time, especially in remote areas of India during COVID-19. As a result, in an emergency, many patients lose their lives because they couldn’t reach the hospital on time or the doctor couldn’t be available on time. In such a situation, virtual doctor robots play a vital role in healthcare with real-time data processing with machine learning algorithms. In this paper, technological innovation has created new opportunities to enhance doctor services without contact using robots that can assist patients in dealing with their illnesses and providing solutions. Virtual doctor robots can benefit healthcare by satisfying patients with more precise solutions. The virtual doctor robot design presented in this paper can rescue patients in remote areas during any pandemic like COVID-19. Through this virtual doctor robot, the doctors can observe and communicate with the patients through video calls and prescribe necessary medicines through scanner. The proposed VDR will help the doctors check the patient's pulse, body temperature, heart rate, etc. through different sensors mounted in the robot structure and send that data using the Wi-Fi network. The doctors will use an IoT-based panel to control and monitor the robot and patients. The control commands that are sent by the doctor to the VDR are sent online and the robot controller then receives these commands. The VDR also showcases other functions like alerting the battery status to remind one that the battery needs to be charged. It also stores the data related to diagnosed patients through cloud networking. The framework of VDR is based on an automated vehicle with a four-wheel drive for its movement and communication between the doctor and VDR is in real-time through the internet. This paper also discusses the future trends of Virtual Doctor robots for the health sector, humanoid robots for surgical help, and other activities of the healthcare sector.

The preliminary health tests of patients in the hospital are carried out by doctors. This requires them to be in contact with the patient which may unknowingly expose them to contagious diseases and it wastes their invaluable time for tests which are primitive in nature. This also increases the waiting time of other patients in the hospital and these lead times can stack up to delay urgent medical treatment of the patients with severe illness. The present guidelines of the World Health Organization amidst the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 strongly suggest social distancing among humans to curtail the spread of the novel coronavirus. The objective of this project is to minimize the contact and the time of interaction between doctors and patients for preliminary tests which can be conducted autonomously by developing an Autonomous Smart Medical Assistant Robot for contactless preliminary testing of patients. This project uses Autodesk Fusion 360 software for the design and testing of the robot and Arduino IDE for control and programming. The robot can also be used as a companion for patients and to transport other medical supplies to both the doctor and the patients.
