ROBOCART can reduce the risk of getting exposed and
maintaining social distancing principles
Amidst of COVID-19 crisis, The Divisonal Railway Hospital,
Pratapnagar, Vadodara has tested its new innovative device to serve isolated
patients while maintaining social
distancing principles. The ROBOCART can help to reduce both the burden on
healthcare professionals as well as the risk of them being exposed to the
deadly virus.
The device is expected to be cost-effective and is perfect
example for the doctors and medical staff to maintain social distance while
treating the COVID patients. The innovative idea was initiated and approved by
Dr.(Lt. Col.) Brhamprakash ( Chief
Medical Superintendent- Vadodara ), Dr. K Kumar(Additional Chief Medical
Superintendent ) and Jonils Macwan, Senior Nursing Superintebndent. Idea was
highly supported with device designing by Mithiliesh Patel, Vraj Innovator,
Vadodara.
The devise was designed within a span of 8 hours by designer in a bid to prevent doctors
and medical staff from getting infected
with coronavirus. The railway hospital has deployed robot car to serve
food and medicines to COVID-19 patients or people infected with the disease.
Supplying food and providing medicines to coronavirus
positive patients in hospital has remained a challenge. This is why humans are
taking the help of machines. It can be easily decontaminated with the use of
disinfectant for quick reuse. A demonstration involving the ROBOCART was done
in ward.
