IOT based Automatic Drug Delivery Robot in Hospitals

Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of automatic drug delivery robotic system using the Internet of Things (IoT) to be used in hospitals for internal logistics. This system helps to reduce the manual work. A smart health caring system which is developed comprise of IoT and sensor technology. The proposed system can check patient’s health by monitoring the patient’s heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature, fall detection and level of the saline in the bottle. The heartbeat, temperature and fall detection sensors are interfaced with the Arduino. The system developed also helps in conserving the energy by controlling the electricity in a hospital from distant position. Further, a line following robot can distribute required drugs and foods to the patients and also aid to sanitize devices especially during pandemic.
