Robot Aided Remote Medical Assistance System using LabVIEW

Abstract

The medical treatment and diagnosis of patients in India especially in rural regions are adversely affected due to lack of proper healthcare and a poor patient to doctor ratio. This paper attempts to bring out the concept of cost effective implementation of a robotic doctor for performing advanced telemedicine. The robot designed here assists doctor to carry out medical tests and provides patient-doctor interaction in case of physical absence of the doctor near the patient.
