Mechatronic mobil system for telemedicine

Abstract:

The aim of this work is developing a mobile robot system applied to telemedicine. The robot allows to provide medical telecare to patients in critical condition, palliative care or people who are in remote areas in which there is not the presence of a specialist doctor. The equipment allows the acquisition, visualization in real time, storage and sending of vital signs data such as: heart rate, respiratory rate, pulse, percentage of oxygen in the blood, glucose level, cardiac auscultation, pulmonary auscultation, body temperature and reading of the patient's electrocardiogram signals. External software allows remote visualization of signals to provide specialized medical services. A remote controlled wireless traction electric system is incorporated in the equipment, which facilitates the user's physician to interact with the patient and at the same time allows to visit the medical facilities to check the status of more patients allowing technologies such as SLAM (Simultaneous localization and modeling) or facial recognition. A DAQ (Data Acquisition system) is used to read the medical signals.
