Where did you get the idea from?
When my niece Miss M was just one year old, she was diagnosed with cancer. Due to the limited availability of cancer treatment facilities in the country, she had to travel to India, where she underwent several surgical operations over the years. This has been one of the most challenging times for our family, but we remain hopeful for her recovery.
This entire experience made me reflect on my role as a Software engineer. I couldn't help but ask myself: What if my home country had a telemedicine facility?
How the system works
A specialized doctor can carry out surgery remotely without having to incur much costs. The proposed system will help local people hence solving the problem skill doctor is one place and the patient is another place.
Targeted market?
Our target users are people in the medical community like doctors, hospitals medical practical’s What is the Business model? We lease them to hospitals so we handle maintenance and software updates. They are to pay an annual fee to us. We provide support and maintenance.
The architecture of the system
The robotic arm system was developed using an Arduino board and a couple of servos and card boxes. For the software that controls it, it was an electron app using NodeJS, that is where we used Agora’s live streaming sdk. We used pub numbs for Web Sockets to communicate with serial ports. There is a PHP session manager which manages sessions between people who control the robot and the robotic arms themselves. These sessions are created using PHP and MySQL. The front end is also PHP and MySQL where the user’s login.
