Design and Development of a Nursing Robot for Non-Invasive Monitoring of Human Body Temperature and Heart Rate

Abstract

This paper describes a nursing robot named RI-YANA developed for measuring human body temperature and monitoring heart rate. Robots are an emerging field of research and development aimed at providing assistance to healthcare professionals. These intelligent machines are mainly designed to take care of the elderly patients, physically disabled patients, patients having contagious diseases such as Covid-19, and also remote area patients where doctors and nurses cannot go instantly. In our robot we have used ECG measurement module for monitoring heart rate and Contactless temperature sensor using Infrared radiation. The nursing robot will record these data and send them to the web page from where the doctor can access the information and take necessary steps. The nursing robot's performance in measuring body temperature and heart rate could be compared with that of traditional measurement methods, such as oral thermometers and pulse oximeters, to determine its utility in a clinical setting.
