ProteCT, Protection against the Coronavirus through Telemedicine - Demo2 at one6G Summit 2023

DEMO 2: ProteCT - Protection against the Coronavirus through Telemedicine
Exhibitor: Research Group MITI, University Hospital rechts der Isar, TUM School of Medicine and Health, Technical University of Munich.
The COVID‐19 pandemic highlighted two fundamental and threatening bottlenecks: The increasing shortage of medical staff and a backlog in the development of telemedicine for basic examinations. To address these challenges, our teleoperated diagnostics framework allows medical staff to examine patients from a safe distance and explores the possibilities of standard medical check‐ups performed with the help of a sensitive robotic arm.
The design of the examination cabin enables a complete routine medical check‐up - from temperature measurements, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and otoscopy, to robotic ventral and dorsal auscultation, tapping and abdominal palpation. It further includes the capability for oropharyngeal inspection and throat swab.
The presented demonstrator shows the robotic examination module of the telerobotic diagnostics framework, enabling a physician to remotely perform physical examinations on patients.
