Healthcare Systems Design of Intelligent Testing Centers

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. 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 as well as 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 modelling, design specifications, design optimization, numerical verifications, actuators, and sensors in medical applications of artificial intelligence and robotics systems, with the aim to give the healthcare sector a guideline on how the latest technologies can be used to battle pandemics such as Covid-19. 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
