Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a patient health support and care system that is capable of real-time monitoring of a patient’s vital health parameters to ensure accurate detection of changes in physical condition and timely response to potential health risks, thus allowing comprehensive assessment of the patient’s overall well-being,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Patient health support and care is an important aspect of medical management, especially for individuals requiring continuous monitoring and assistance. Patients who are bedridden or recovering from illness often need regular tracking of vital health parameters, timely administration of medications, and support for comfort and safety. Effective patient care involves maintaining proper rest, monitoring health conditions, and providing routine interventions to reduce risks and improve recovery.

[0003] Traditionally, patient monitoring has been carried out manually by caregivers or healthcare staff. Vitals such as heart rate, temperature, and respiration are usually measured at fixed intervals using separate systems, and the information is recorded manually for future reference. In addition, caregivers are responsible for remembering and administering prescribed medications on time. Comfort adjustments, such as covering or uncovering the patient with sheets, also depend on manual actions based on caregiver judgment. This approach requires continuous presence of healthcare staff or family members.

[0004] These traditional methods present several limitations. Manual monitoring is time-consuming, prone to human error, and may result in delayed detection of sudden changes in patient health. Timely administration of medication can be missed due to oversight, leading to complications. Comfort management such as maintaining body temperature balance is inconsistent and may not be optimal. In long-term care, reliance on manual processes increases caregiver workload and reduces efficiency, making it difficult to provide consistent and reliable patient care.

[0005] US20170147784A1 disclose about a medication administration and tracking system is described. The system is equipped with an electric medication dispenser configured to administer medication to a patient in a hospital bed without intervention from hospital staff. The dispenser is configured to allocate safe doses of prescribed or over-the-counter medications to a patient upon request by the patient. At least one method of biometric authentication is employed to solely permit access to the medication to the patient upon confirmation of his or her identity. A camera disposed on the dispenser is configured to witness the patient take the medication, and track the time and date of consumption. The medications administered are preferably equipped with a tracking sensor to help track medication levels within the patient, and monitor treatment efficacy.

[0006] US7743440B2 discloses about the bed with automatic mattress lifting system is a bed with a frame and an internal drive system for raising a mattress above the frame, allowing the user to easily change the sheets or other bed coverings. The mattress rests on a mattress supporting platform, which, in the lowered position, is received within the frame. In operation, driven motion of an internal rod caused by a drive system located within the frame generates rotation in a lever arm. The lever arm is secured to a shaft that extends across the frame, and rotation of the shaft causes a pair of supports to rotate. Upper ends of the supports are joined to a lower surface of the mattress supporting platform, thus driving upward movement of the mattress supporting platform. The sheets cover both the mattress and the platform, allowing the sheets to be changed without having to manually lift the mattress.

[0007] Conventionally, many systems are available for supporting health care. However, the cited invention shows certain limitation where in terms of structure and component placement. In one case, the medication dispenser is mounted externally and requires patient interaction for operation, which limits automation and continuous support. In another case, the lifting is confined within the bed frame and only assists in raising the mattress, without providing integrated health monitoring or medication management.

[0008] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system provides continuous patient support and monitoring in an automated manner. The system should minimize dependency on manual effort, ensure timely interventions, and deliver consistent care. The system should be capable of addressing both comfort management and healthcare needs in an integrated and efficient way.

[0021] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0022] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0023] The present invention relates to a patient health support and care system that is capable of dynamically adjusting environmental and support conditions based on real-time health information, ensuring that the patient’s needs are addressed in real time according to changing physiological or behavioral conditions, in order to improve overall treatment efficiency of the patient.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a patient health support and care system is illustrated comprising of a bed frame 101 comprising parallel side rails 102, a headboard 103, and a footboard 104, a pair of motorized sliding units 105 mounted on each side rail, a medication dispensing arrangement 106 integrated with the bed frame 101 includes a plurality of storage compartments 106a, divided into multiple sections, each section being adapted to hold a specific category of medication based on the medical needs of the patient, a vertical actuator 106b disposed beneath each compartment section, a pair of motorized clamping units 106c, a spoon-shaped cup 106d positioned adjacent to the bed frame 101, a L-shaped pusher unit 106e, a wristband 107 is integrated with the system, a display unit 108 is attached to the bed frame 101, a sheet 109 disposed at the footboard 104.

[0025] The system discloses herein comprises the bed frame 101 which includes parallel side rails 102, headboard 103, and footboard 104 to securely support a patient. The fame disclosed herein is made up from a strong base for supporting the entire weight of the patient along with any additional healthcare equipment attached to it. The parallel side rails 102 extend along the length of the frame 101, distributing load evenly and preventing bending or deformation during continuous use. The headboard 103 is securely fixed at the upper end of the frame 101 to add vertical stability and provide firm support when the patient needs an elevated or seated position. Similarly, the footboard 104 at the lower end ensures horizontal stability and prevents displacement or sliding of the patient.

[0026] The headboard 103 mentioned herein is fixed at the upper end of the frame 101, serving as a back support for the patient. The headboard 103 assists in maintaining proper positioning and provides a firm surface that enhances comfort and stability, particularly when the patient is sitting upright or requires elevation during care.

[0027] The footboard 104 is positioned at the lower end of the frame 101 to ensure correct posture and alignment of the patient’s body. The footboard 104 also prevents the patient from sliding downward, maintaining a safe and comfortable resting position. The headboard 103 and footboard 104 together enhance the overall security of the patient within the bed.

[0028] A sensing module is integrated with the bed frame 101, the sensing module comprising a temperature sensor, a heart rate sensor, and a respiration rate sensor. These sensors are configured to continuously monitor vital health parameters of the patient, ensuring accurate detection of health conditions.

[0029] The temperature sensor operates by detecting variations in body heat through direct or indirect contact with the patient’s skin or the surrounding environment. The sensor converts thermal energy into electrical signals using thermistor or infrared sensing technology. These signals are processed to provide continuous readings of the patient’s body temperature. The sensor compensates for ambient temperature changes to ensure accuracy and reduces noise through digital filtering. Data is transmitted to a control unit in real time, where it is logged and analyzed. This enables timely identification of fever, hypothermia, or other abnormal thermal conditions in the patient’s health.

[0030] For an example, if a patient develops a fever during the night, the sensor automatically detects the rise in temperature and transmits the data to the control unit, allowing caregivers to receive timely alerts and intervene before the condition worsens.

[0031] The heart rate sensor works on the principle of photo plethysmography, where a light source, typically an LED, emits light onto the skin. The light is either absorbed or reflected depending on blood flow within the capillaries. A photodiode detects these variations and converts them into electrical signals corresponding to the cardiac pulse. The signals are amplified, filtered, and processed to derive beats per minute in real time. This sensor ensures continuous monitoring of heart activity, helping identify irregularities such as tachycardia or bradycardia. The processed data is relayed to the control unit for recording and further analysis.

[0032] For an example, when a patient’s heart rate rises abnormally due to stress or physical strain, the sensor captures these variations and relays the information in real time, enabling the control unit to log the data and notify caregivers for quick assessment and medical action.

[0033] The respiration rate sensor detects the expansion and contraction of the patient’s chest or airflow variations during breathing cycles. It operates either through a strain gauge embedded within the frame 101 or through airflow-based sensing using a pressure transducer. As the patient inhales and exhales, changes in chest movement or airflow cause measurable variations in resistance or pressure, which are converted into electrical signals. These signals are filtered and processed to calculate breaths per minute. Continuous monitoring of respiratory patterns allows early detection of abnormalities such as apnea, shallow breathing, or irregular respiration. Data is transmitted for analysis and alerts.

[0034] For an example, if a patient experiences abnormal breathing patterns, such as shallow breathing during sleep apnea, the sensor identifies irregular cycles and communicates the data to the control unit, allowing caregivers to respond quickly and ensure proper medical evaluation or emergency intervention.

[0035] The system further includes the pair of motorized sliding units 105 mounted on each side rail 102 of the bed frame 101. The sliding units 105 are configured to hold and move the sheet 109 in order to increase coverage over the patient. The sliding units 105 mentioned herein comprises a rail unit that provides a guided path for controlled linear movement. The rail unit typically includes a pair of parallel tracks along which the slider carriage moves in a stable manner. The sliding unit is equipped with a motor coupled to a drive that converts the motor’s rotational motion into linear displacement.

[0036] This displacement propels the slider carriage smoothly along the rails 102, enabling precise adjustment of the sheet 109 position and ensuring consistent coverage over the patient without manual effort. The sheet 109 movement is controlled by the control unit, which is operatively linked with the sensing module. The control unit processes the vital health parameters detected by the sensing module and adjusts the sheet 109 coverage accordingly, thereby maintaining optimal comfort and minimizing manual intervention.

[0037] The medication dispensing arrangement 106 integrated with an inner section of the bed frame 101. The medication dispensing arrangement 106 includes plurality of storage compartments 106a divided into multiple sections, each section being adapted to hold a specific category of medication based on the medical needs of the patient.

[0038] The vertical actuator 106b is disposed beneath each compartment section and configured to elevate a selected section for access and delivery of medication. The vertical actuator 106b mentioned herein operates by converting rotary motion from an electric motor into controlled vertical displacement through a lead screw. When activated, the motor drives the actuator 106b shaft, which moves upward or downward depending on the required direction. The selected compartment section is mounted on a movable platform connected to the actuator 106b. As the actuator 106b extends, it elevates the platform, raising the chosen compartment for access and medication delivery. Retraction lowers the compartment back into position.

[0039] The pair of motorized clamping units 106c are provided to securely hold a strip of tablets during dispensing. The motorized clamping unit 106c mentioned herein works by using an electric motor connected to a sliding jaw through a lead screw. The motor drives the screw, which is supported on the fixed frame of the clamp. As the screw rotates, it moves the sliding jaw toward or away from the fixed jaw, depending on the rotation direction. This controlled motion allows the clamp 106c to securely hold the strip of tablets in position during dispensing and release it once the process is complete.

[0040] The L-shaped pusher unit 106e is also included and configured to press a selected tablet from the strip into the spoon-shaped cup 106d, ensuring safe and precise dispensing of medication. The L-shaped pusher unit 106e operates through a hydraulic unit that provides controlled extension and retraction for pressing tablets from the strip into the spoon-shaped cup 106d. The unit comprises a hydraulic cylinder, compressor, valve, and piston arranged to generate precise motion. Upon actuation by the control unit, the hydraulic valve opens, allowing pressurized fluid from the compressor to enter the cylinder. This pressure acts on the piston, causing it to extend and drive the attached plunger forward, pressing a selected tablet out of the strip. For retraction, the microcontroller closes or reverses the valve, releasing fluid pressure and retracting the plunger to its original position, ready for the next operation.

[0041] The spoon-shaped cup 106d is positioned adjacent to the bed frame 101 to receive the dispensed tablet for direct administration to the patient. The spoon-shaped cup 106d is mounted on a hinged support adjacent to the bed frame 101 and positioned to align with the with L-shaped pusher unit 106e. When a tablet is released from the L-shaped pusher unit 106e, it drops directly into the concave surface of the cup 106d, preventing spillage. The cup 106d is connected to a small actuator or guiding arm that adjusts the angle to ensure smooth collection and delivery. Once the tablet is received, the cup 106d is automatically positioned towards the patient for direct administration, ensuring accuracy, hygiene, and ease of intake during the medication dispensing process.

[0042] The control unit is further integrated with a real-time clock for monitoring and maintaining a real-time track of scheduled activities. The RTC is a dedicated timing system with its own oscillator and battery backup, enabling it to keep precise time independently of the main power supply. The control unit continuously reads the clock signal and compares it with pre-fed schedules, such as medication intake times or monitoring intervals. When the system time matches a programmed event, the control unit generates a trigger signal to activate the corresponding function, such as medication dispensing or patient monitoring, ensuring reliable and time-bound execution of tasks.

[0043] For example, if a patient’s medication is scheduled at 8:00 AM, the real-time clock maintains precise tracking of the system time. Once the clock reaches the present time, the control unit automatically triggers the medication dispensing arrangement 106 without caregiver intervention. The selected tablet is dispensed into the spoon-shaped cup 106d for direct administration, ensuring timely delivery of the medicine and reducing the risk of missed or delayed doses for the patient.

[0044] The system further includes the wristband 107 integrated with the control unit for continuous monitoring of additional health parameters. The wristband 107 is configured to monitor stress, physical activity, hydration levels, and skin temperature. The wristband 107 mentioned herein is constructed as a flexible, adjustable strap designed to fit securely around the wrist. The wristband 107 comprises a durable, hypoallergenic material that ensures comfort during extended use. The band includes a compact, integrated enclosure that houses the internal components, maintaining a low profile and ergonomic shape. The design features smooth edges and a contoured form to conform to the wrist, allowing stable placement and minimizing movement while maintaining structural integrity and resilience against wear and tear.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, the wristband 107 is designed with an adjustable clasp to secure around the wrist. The band is first positioned such that the enclosure rests comfortably on the dorsal side of the wrist. The free end of the strap is threaded through the clasp or buckle, and the user pulls the strap until a snug fit is achieved without causing discomfort. The clasp locks the strap in place, preventing slippage during movement. Excess strap length can be tucked into a retaining loop or secured under the band, ensuring the wristband 107 remains stable and properly oriented for continuous monitoring.

[0046] The wristband 107 includes a photo plethysmography (PPG) sensor, a 3-axis accelerometer, a gyroscope, a galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor, a bio-impedance sensor, and a skin temperature sensor. The wristband 107 transmits data in real time to the control unit, enabling ongoing health assessment of the patient.

[0047] The PPG sensor works by emitting light into the skin and measuring the amount of light either reflected or transmitted through blood vessels. Variations in blood volume during cardiac cycles cause changes in light absorption, which the sensor detects. These changes are converted into electrical signals representing the patient’s heart rate and blood flow. The signals are transmitted to the control unit, allowing continuous monitoring of cardiovascular activity, detection of irregular heartbeats, and calculation of metrics such as pulse rate and oxygen saturation in real time.

[0048] For example, when a patient wearing the wristband 107 is resting in bed, the PPG sensor continuously emits light through the skin on the wrist. As blood pulses with each heartbeat, the sensor detects variations in light absorption. This data is converted into electrical signals and transmitted to the control unit, which calculates the patient’s heart rate in real time. Any irregularity, such as a sudden increase or decrease in pulse, triggers an alert for immediate review.

[0049] The 3-axis accelerometer measures linear acceleration along three perpendicular axes (X, Y, Z). It detects changes in movement, orientation, and position of the wristband 107 by sensing forces applied to a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) structure inside the sensor. These forces generate electrical signals proportional to acceleration, which are processed and transmitted to the control unit. The data allows tracking of patient activity, motion patterns, sleep quality, and daily movements, providing insight into physical activity levels and overall mobility trends over time.

[0050] For example, when a patient rolls over in bed, the 3-axis accelerometer in the wristband 107 detects changes in acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes. These variations generate electrical signals that are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit analyzes the data to determine movement patterns, such as frequency and intensity of motion, helping caregivers assess sleep quality, detect restlessness, and monitor overall physical activity of the patient in real time.

[0051] The gyroscope measures angular velocity along three rotational axes of the wristband 107. The gyroscope detects rotational motion by using MEMS-based vibrating structures that generate Coriolis forces proportional to angular speed. These forces are converted into electrical signals and transmitted to the control unit. By combining gyroscope data with accelerometer readings, the control unit accurately determines wrist orientation, rotation, and complex movement patterns. This enables monitoring of physical activity, posture changes, and detection of abnormal movements or falls, providing real-time information on patient mobility and movement dynamics.

[0052] For example, when a patient turns their wrist to reach for a glass of water, the gyroscope in the wristband 107 detects angular velocity along three rotational axes. The sensor generates electrical signals corresponding to the speed and direction of rotation, which are sent to the control unit. By analyzing this data along with accelerometer readings, the control unit accurately tracks wrist orientation, movement patterns, and detects unusual or rapid motions, providing real-time monitoring of patient activity.

[0053] The GSR sensor detects variations in the skin’s electrical conductance, which changes with sweat gland activity influenced by stress, arousal, or emotional responses. Electrodes in the wristband 107 make contact with the skin and measure resistance or conductance. The detected signals are converted into digital data and transmitted to the control unit. Continuous monitoring allows assessment of physiological stress levels, emotional states, and autonomic nervous system activity, offering insights into the patient’s psychological and emotional condition during daily activities or clinical assessment.

[0054] For example, when a patient experiences anxiety before a medical procedure, the GSR sensor in the wristband 107 detects increased skin conductance due to heightened sweat gland activity. Electrodes measure the change in resistance and convert it into electrical signals, which are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit interprets these signals to assess stress levels, providing real-time insights into the patient’s emotional state and enabling timely interventions or guidance.

[0055] The bio-impedance sensor measures the resistance and reactance of body tissues by applying a small alternating current through the skin. Variations in impedance occur due to changes in body composition, hydration levels, or fluid distribution. Electrodes in the wristband 107 detect voltage drops caused by tissue impedance, and the sensor converts these into electrical signals for transmission to the control unit. Real-time analysis of these signals provides insights into hydration status, body composition, and physiological changes, supporting continuous health monitoring and early detection of abnormalities.

[0056] For example, when a patient engages in physical exercise, the bio-impedance sensor in the wristband 107 detects changes in tissue resistance due to fluid loss and altered hydration levels. Electrodes measure the voltage drop caused by these impedance variations, which are converted into electrical signals and sent to the control unit. The control unit analyzes this data in real time to monitor hydration status, alerting caregivers if the patient requires fluid replenishment.

[0057] The skin temperature sensor measures the patient’s surface temperature using thermistors or infrared sensing elements embedded in the wristband 107. The sensor detects thermal radiation or changes in resistance corresponding to temperature variations. These measurements are converted into electrical signals and transmitted to the control unit in real time. Continuous monitoring of skin temperature enables tracking of body temperature trends, detection of fever or hypothermia, and correlation with other physiological parameters, contributing to overall assessment of patient health and alerting caregivers to potential medical conditions.

[0058] For example, if a patient develops a fever during rest, the skin temperature sensor embedded in the wristband 107 detects an increase in surface temperature. The sensor converts this thermal change into electrical signals and transmits them to the control unit in real time. The system analyzes the temperature trend and alerts caregivers, enabling prompt medical intervention to manage the fever and prevent further health complications.

[0059] The system further comprises the display unit 108 attached to the bed frame 101. The display unit 108 is configured to guide the patient through personalized health routines. The display unit 108 mentioned herein is typically a LCD screen that presents output in a visible form. The screen is equipped with touch-sensitive technology, allowing the user to interact directly with the display using their fingers. A touch controller IC processes the analog signals generated when the user inputs details. The touch controller is connected to the inbuilt microcontroller embedded within the control unit through interfaces including, but not limited to, SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit). The displayed routines are dynamically adapted by the control unit based on detected temperature fluctuations and observed health patterns, thereby enhancing the efficiency of care.

[0060] A set of pressure sensors patches are embedded beneath the sheet 109 to detect patient movement, and restlessness. The pressure sensors used herein is a capacitive pressure sensor that works by measuring changes in capacitance. The sensors consist of two conductive plates separated by a small gap. When pressure is applied, the gap between these plates changes, altering the capacitance. The sensor detects this change and converts it into an electrical signal that relates to the amount of pressure. This signal is then sent to the microcontroller to be processed to give a precise pressure reading. The data from the pressure sensor patches is processed by the control unit, which trigger environmental adjustments or suggest medical interventions when irregularities are observed.

[0061] In addition, the control unit is configured to automatically trigger emergency alerts to caregivers upon detecting patient vitals exceeding or falling below safe thresholds, thus ensuring prompt medical assistance.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, the alerts are delivered through a speaker configured with the frame 101 that works by converting the electrical signal into the audio signal. The speaker consists of a cone known as a diaphragm attached to a coil-shaped wire placed between two magnets. When the electric signal is passed through the voice coil, it generates a varying magnetic field that interacts with the magnet causing the diaphragm to move back and forth. This movement pushes and pulls air creating sound waves just like the electrical signal received and used to notify the user thus ensuring prompt medical assistance.

[0063] In an another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit continuously receives real-time data from sensors monitoring the patient’s vital signs, including temperature, heart rate, and stress levels. Based on these readings, the control unit processes the information using predefined thresholds to determine the patient’s comfort needs. When required, the control unit sends signals to environmental conditions, such as lighting and air conditioning units, to adjust brightness, intensity, or room temperature accordingly. This ensures that the patient remains in an optimal environment that supports rest, recovery, and overall well-being.

[0064] For an example, if a patient’s body temperature rises above normal due to fever, the control unit detects this change through the temperature sensor and automatically lowers the room temperature using the air conditioning unit. Simultaneously, if the patient’s stress level increases, the system can adjust lighting to a softer, calming intensity. These real-time adjustments ensure the patient remains comfortable and promotes better rest, recovery, and overall health management throughout the day.

[0065] The control unit is also operatively linked with an inbuilt communication module for establishing a wireless connection between the microcontroller and a computing unit that is inbuilt with a user-interface and accessed by the user for enabling the user to provide real-time personalized instructions and guidance regarding diet, medication, rest, and physical activities based on the detected health parameters. The user interacts with the interface through a touch screen, keyboard, or other input methods available on the computing unit. The computing unit mentioned herein includes, but not limited to smartphone, laptop, tablet.

[0066] The communication module mentioned herein includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The communication module used in the system is preferably the Wi-Fi module. The Wi-Fi module enables wireless communication by transmitting and receiving data over radio frequencies using IEEE 802.11 protocols. It connects to a network via an access point, converting digital data into radio signals. The module processes TCP/IP protocols for data
exchange, interfaces with microcontrollers through UART/SPI, and ensures
encrypted communication using WPA/WPA2 security standards for secure and
efficient wireless connectivity.

[0067] For an example, when a patient’s heart rate and temperature are monitored and recorded by the system, the control unit transmits this data via the Wi-Fi module to a tablet accessed by a healthcare provider. The provider can immediately view real-time vitals and send personalized instructions, such as adjusting diet or medication timing. This wireless communication ensures timely guidance and continuous monitoring without requiring the provider to be physically present at the patient’s location.

[0068] The system further has a database integrated with the control unit. The database is configured to continuously record patient health data over time. The control unit is adapted to utilize an artificial intelligence protocol to analyze both real-time and historical data to detect anomalies, predict potential health risks, and provide personalized healthcare recommendations tailored to the patient’s needs.

[0069] The database mentioned herein maintains chronological records of vitals, activity levels, medication intake, and other physiological parameters. The control unit accesses this stored data and applies artificial intelligence protocol to analyze both real-time and historical information. By identifying deviations from normal patterns, the system can detect anomalies, predict potential health risks, and generate personalized healthcare recommendations. This technical integration enables continuous assessment, trend analysis, and informed decision-making for proactive patient care management.

[0070] For example, the database continuously records a patient’s heart rate, respiration, and temperature over several weeks. By analyzing these historical trends alongside real-time data, the system detects early signs of fever or irregular heartbeat, prompting timely alerts to caregivers and enabling preventive medical action.

[0071] For example, the system tracks a patient’s medication intake and activity levels daily. The AI analyzes patterns to predict risks, such as dehydration from missed doses or reduced movement, and generates personalized recommendations, ensuring consistent and informed patient care.

[0072] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the system comprises of the bed frame 101 provides a secure and stable platform for patient support. The sensing module continuously monitors vital health parameters, including temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate, transmitting data to the control unit. Based on the detected vitals, the control unit adjusts the position and coverage of the sheet 109 using motorized sliding units 105 to maintain optimal comfort for the patient. The control unit further coordinates with the medication dispensing arrangement 106, selecting and delivering medications based on patient-specific health data and pre-fed schedules using the real-time clock. The vertical actuator 106b elevates selected compartments , while motorized clamping units 106c secure medication strips, and the L-shaped pusher unit 106e ensures precise tablet dispensing into the spoon-shaped cup 106d for direct patient administration. The wristband 107 continuously monitors additional health parameters, including stress, physical activity, hydration, and skin temperature, transmitting real-time data to the control unit for ongoing assessment. The display unit 108 guides the patient through personalized health routines, dynamically adapting based on observed health patterns and sensor readings. Embedded pressure sensor patches detect sleep posture and restlessness, enabling environmental or medical interventions. The control unit also triggers emergency alerts if vitals exceed or fall below safe thresholds. Real-time and historical data are recorded in the integrated database, analyzed using artificial intelligence protocols to detect anomalies, predict health risks, and provide personalized recommendations.
