Telepresence Healthcare Consultation Bot

Telepresence Healthcare Consultation Bot

Rural and underserved populations face significant barriers to specialist medical access. This robotic platform bridges the geographic divide by combining a mobile telepresence base with integrated diagnostic peripherals. The robot navigates clinic corridors autonomously using LiDAR-based simultaneous localization and mapping, arriving at patient bedside upon remote physician summons. A high-definition pan-tilt-zoom camera, digital stethoscope, and infrared thermometer interface with the robot's onboard computer, streaming real-time audiovisual and physiological data to the consulting doctor's workstation. The physician drives the robot's movements through an intuitive web interface, enabling visual inspection of skin conditions, wound sites, and patient mobility. The system reduces unnecessary patient transport while maintaining the interpersonal connection essential to clinical care.
