Sensorial Investigation for Automated Patient Data Collection in Hospital Triage: An Exploratory Assessment of the Literature

Resumo

This paper delves into the proposal of integrating a comprehensive system of vital signs sensors to advance the BayIEEEmax project, which aims to develop an autonomous robot to aid in the triage process within hospital settings. A thorough investigation was conducted to explore commercially available sensor types capable of measuring patients' body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. The research focused on assessing the identified sensor models' feasibility and compatibility with the prototype's requisite automation criteria. Ultimately, the selected set of sensors will be incorporated into a printed circuit board and integrated into the physical model of the robot for experimental validation.
