Synopsis

Healthcare Systems Design of Intelligent Testing Centers: Latest Technologies to Battle Pandemics such as Covid-19 highlights the importance of designing intelligent testing centers requiring no human intervention during sample collection and testing of the Covid-19 virus and all similar viruses. This book introduces the background, medical requirements, and new research on medical robotics applications, including general Covid-19 testing techniques, development considerations for intelligent testing booths, kinematic and dynamic modeling, design specifications and optimization, numerical verifications, actuators, and sensors in medical applications of artificial intelligence and robotics systems.

• Demonstrates how to design an intelligent healthcare testing center from scratch
• Presents the basics of AI and robotics technology in healthcare testing
• Covers technical-economic evaluation of robotic systems, which is crucial for decision-makers in the field

From the Back Cover

Keeping healthcare workers safe during the Covid-19 pandemic is fundamental in both easing back the pace of infection and meeting -increased staffing needs. Legislatures and medical care suppliers find this difficult because of the worldwide lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies. Various systems have been developed in a modular configuration, to eliminate healthcare worker-to-patient exposure during sample collection. However, this does not address the psychological stress on healthcare workers exposed to high-demand settings for extended periods and living in consistent dread of infection exposure while isolated from family and confronting social slander.
