Abstract

Introducing a ground-breaking health monitoring robot that expertly combines several state-of-the-art functions to meet the complicated healthcare needs of people, especially the elderly. The system starts with a Smart Medication Box with audio reminders to help with timely and organised medication dispensing. To enhance overall well-being, a wide-angle camera records user activities and a complete health monitoring system evaluates vital signs such as temperature, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate regularly. When an emergency arises, a limit switch activates an alarm system that notifies users quickly via a GSM module and allows them to immediately communicate with emergency services or carers. Through the use of an intuitive mobile application, users may remotely control the motions of the robot and utilise a webcam linked to a web server to investigate their surroundings and operate the robot. The robot has AI-driven entertainment functions like music playing, book reading, and storytelling to offer the company. This comprehensive system, which strongly emphasises user control and real-time data accessibility, uses cutting-edge and user-centric technology to improve medication adherence, deliver timely health insights, and offer emotional support.
