Fabrication and Implementation Of Smart Service Elevator For Medical System

Abstract

The project provides a mechanism for transporting medicine inside hospitals, where there is delay in the process due to overcrowding and the movement of nurses and co-patient to make the purchase. The process starts by writing the treatments in the patient's file, and due to its importance it is only handed over to the medical staff, which requires the appointment of a nurse assistant to accompany the co-patients during the procedures. And afterthe spread of Coronavirus epidemic, new solutions must be found to reduce crowding, direct contact and to reduce the infection rate of the virus. A control system has been designed and applied to process medicine and medical supplies delivery operation inside the hospital by using an elevator that moves vertically between the pharmacy and the nurse stations on each floor of the hospital, using an Arduino controller, the motor that is connected to the Arduino controller via the motor driver which supplies the motor with the current required to operate and move the elevator between the different floors. A simulation of this study was made using Protues program. A prototype of the project was also made, which achieved and facilitated the process of transporting medicine and medical supplies. The system can be improved by adding security, protection and software improvement, also the system can by linked to hospital information system through the software.
