Abstract:
As the elderly population continues to grow, Thailand is transitioning towards an
aging society. Furthermore, the country is currently experiencing the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic. Medical personnel are required to maintain social distancing and minimize
contact to reduce the spread of infection. As the number of medical personnel infected
with COVID-19 increases, there is a shortage of staff, resulting in an increased workload for
those remaining. In response to these challenges, a research project has been initiated to
develop a robot suitable for use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The robot,
designed by the research team, is modular and stands at a height of one meter. Two
systems have been developed for robot mobility: a user-controlled system via remote
control and an autonomous system. An application has also been designed to facilitate use
by medical service users. The current version of the application is capable of measuring
patients’ body temperature with an accuracy rate of 99.24%, as determined through testing
with a sample group of 15 individuals. To ensure patient confidence in the system, a
decentralized data storage system utilizing blockchain technology has been implemented to
enhance data security and prevent unauthorized modification.
