Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to an AI-enabled medical management system for wound care and substance administration that is capable ensuring safe storage of medical substances and automated retrieval for administering, thus helps in providing wound-specific care and supports faster and safer recovery of patients.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In general, medical treatment requires the use of different types of substances such as tablets, liquids, ointments, and herbal preparations. These substances need to be stored properly under controlled environmental conditions to maintain their quality and effectiveness. In addition, users often require access to these medical substances in a safe and timely manner for treatment of wounds or other health conditions. Proper management of medical substances, their storage, handling, and delivery is important for ensuring safe treatment and avoiding health risks.
[0003] Traditionally, medical substances are stored manually in cabinets or boxes without strict environmental control. Expiry dates and chemical compositions are checked by visual inspection of labels, which often leads to errors. In case of wounds, users generally depend on manual selection and application of medical substances, which may not be accurate in terms of dosage or wound-specific requirements. Herbal pastes, when required, are usually prepared by hand using basic tools, which leads to inconsistency in composition and quality.
[0004] These traditional practices have several drawbacks. Manual storage without proper control can result in exposure of medical substances to unsuitable temperature or humidity, reducing their effectiveness. Reliance on human inspection makes it difficult to ensure timely removal of expired or defective substances. Manual handling and dispensing are prone to errors, leading to incorrect dosages or inappropriate treatment. Preparation of herbal materials without measured proportions causes variation in quality and may not always provide effective wound treatment. Such drawbacks create risks in safety, accuracy, and reliability of medical substance management.

[0025] The system discloses herein comprises the kiosk 101 configured with the plurality of chambers 102, each chamber adapted to store medical substances under controlled environmental conditions. The kiosk 101 mentioned herein is a structural enclosure designed to provide a stable and secure housing for medical management applications.
[0026] The kiosk 101 is fabricated using durable materials with sufficient load-bearing strength to support prolonged usage under varying environmental conditions. The kiosk 101 is configured with a rigid frame and reinforced panels to maintain structural integrity and resist deformation. The kiosk 101 is design ensures easy accessibility for users while maintaining compactness and stability. The kiosk 101 surface is treated for hygiene and resistance to contamination, making it suitable for medical use.
[0027] The input means including the touch interactive display panel 111 or user interface installed in the computing unit is paired with the kiosk 101. The input means enables users to create a profile, specify medical preferences, and provide personal medical details.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the system, the touch interactive display panel 111 as mentioned herein is typically an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) 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 (Integrated Circuit) is responsible for to create the profile, specify medical preferences, and provide personal medical details. A touch controller is typically connected to the microcontroller through various interfaces which may include but are not limited to SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit).
[0029] In another embodiment of the system, the microcontroller activates 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 create the profile, specify medical preferences, and provide personal medical details. 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.
[0030] 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. Based on these inputs, the microcontroller regulates selection and dispensing of medical substances suitable for the user’s condition.
[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, a data repository is interconnected with the microcontroller to enable efficient storage and retrieval of medical substance data and user-specific medical details. The database is configured to store information including expiry dates, batch numbers, and inventory levels of medical substances. The database also records user medical profiles, treatment history, and substance usage patterns for tracking and management. The database operates in synchronization with the microcontroller, allowing real-time updates during dispensing operations.
[0032] The chambers 102 are integrated with the sensing module including a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, which continuously monitor real-time storage conditions. The temperature sensor operates by detecting variations in ambient thermal energy within the chamber and converting them into proportional electrical signals. The senor continuously monitors the chamber’s internal temperature, providing real-time feedback to the microcontroller. The sensor utilizes thermistor, RTD, or semiconductor-based technology to measure resistance or voltage changes corresponding to temperature fluctuations. The microcontroller processes this data to assess whether the storage conditions align with predefined optimal ranges. If deviations occur, corrective actions are triggered, such as activating the humidifier unit 103 or adjusting airflow. This ensures that medical substances are preserved under stable and controlled thermal conditions.
[0033] The humidity sensor functions by measuring the amount of water vapor present in the chamber air and converting this into an electrical signal for processing. The humidity sensor commonly employs capacitive sensing elements, where the dielectric constant or resistance varies in response to relative humidity levels. These variations are converted into analog or digital signals and transmitted to the microcontroller. Real-time data enables continuous monitoring of moisture levels to prevent degradation of stored medical substances. If humidity exceeds or drops below predefined limits, the microcontroller directs the humidifier unit 103 to adjust conditions, maintaining consistent and optimal storage environments.
[0034] The humidifier unit 103 disposed within each chamber is operatively coupled with the sensing module and is configured to dynamically regulate storage temperature and humidity. The humidifier unit 103 adjusts the environmental conditions of each chamber in response to real-time weather parameters, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the stored medical substances.
[0035] The humidifier unit 103 works by converting water stored in a reservoir into fine vapor and releasing it into the chamber atmosphere to regulate humidity. The humidifier unit 103 typically employs ultrasonic transducers to generate vapor, controlled through electrical signals from the microcontroller. When humidity falls below set thresholds, the unit increases vapor release, and when it exceeds limits, the unit reduces or stops operation. This closed-loop control ensures precise regulation of environmental conditions, preserving the stability, quality, and effectiveness of stored medical substances.
[0036] The artificial intelligence-based imaging camera 105 mounted on the exterior portion of the kiosk 101 continuously scans the surroundings to detect presence of a user. The imaging camera 105 operates by capturing continuous image frames of the surrounding environment. The captured frames are processed through computer vision protocol that analyze pixel patterns, shapes, and motion to detect the presence of a user. Background subtraction and object recognition techniques distinguish human features from non-relevant objects. Deep learning models further classify detected objects as users based on trained datasets. The processed information is transmitted to the microcontroller, which confirms user presence.
[0037] The camera 105 further analyzes user wounds using image processing and deep learning protocols to determine the type, severity, and treatment requirement. The analysis enables the microcontroller to identify the required medical substances and appropriate dosage for wound care.
[0038] For an example, when the user with a hand injury approaches, the imaging camera 105 captures the wound image and applies image processing to detect its characteristics. Deep learning module classify the wound as a moderate abrasion with bleeding. Based on this analysis, the microcontroller identifies antiseptic liquid, bandage material, and pain relief tablets as suitable substances and calculates the required dosage, ensuring accurate and timely treatment for the user.
[0039] The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 integrated within each chamber is operatively connected with a OCR module. The imaging unit 104 scans the labels of the stored substances and verifies their integrity by analyzing expiry dates and chemical compositions. The imaging unit 104 incorporates a processor that is encrypted with an artificial intelligence protocol. The artificial intelligence protocol operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, data is collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the captured images. The processor of the imaging unit 104 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the captured images and sent the signal to the microcontroller.
[0040] The OCR module works by capturing label images provided by the imaging unit 104 and processing them through a sequence of recognition protocol. Initially, the image undergoes preprocessing steps such as noise reduction, threes holding, and segmentation to isolate text regions. Character recognition is then performed using pattern matching or machine learning models trained on alphanumeric datasets. The extracted text is converted into digital data, which is analyzed to identify expiry dates, batch numbers, and composition details. The microcontroller processed data from the imaging unit 104 and from the module for verification, enabling automated detection of expired or defective substances with high accuracy and consistency.
[0041] For example, when a container of antiseptic solution is scanned inside the chamber, the imaging unit 104 captures the label and the OCR module processes the text to extract the expiry date “12/2025” and batch number. The artificial intelligence protocol compares this information with the database. If the expiry date has passed, the microcontroller flags the container as defective and directs the handling assembly 106 to transfer it to the removal chamber for safe disposal.
[0042] If any defective or expired medical substances are detected, the imaging unit 104 communicates with the handling assembly 106, which relocates the defective substances to the designated removal chamber. The handling assembly 106 disposed within each chamber is responsible for retrieval, manipulation, and transfer of medical substance containers.
[0043] The handling assembly 106 includes the motorized clamp 106a mounted on the ceiling portion of the chamber via the extendable bar 106b installed on the two-axis motorized slider 106c for providing controlled movement to the clamp 106a. The clamp 106a provides controlled movement for gripping the containers.
[0044] The extendable bar 106b mentioned herein works by a pneumatic unit that embodies an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves, and piston which work in collaboration to perform the extension and retraction of the bar 106b. The bar 106b comprises a nested tube arrangement that contains multiple hollow tubes connected concentrically. The air cylinder is attached to the bottom of the nested tube arrangement and further consists of an air piston attached to the topmost part of the nested tube arrangement from the inside. The air cylinder is integrated with one inlet and one outlet valve that is connected to an air compressor. The air compressor draws air from the surroundings and compresses it to form pressurized air which enters the inlet valve and creates a force that pushes the piston in the forward direction. As the piston moves in the forward direction, it leads to the sequential opening of the concentrically connected tubes from the top toward the bottom. This leads to the extension of the bar 106b positioning the clamp 106a near the medical substances containers.
[0045] The two-axis motorized slider 106c mentioned herein operates through two linear guide mechanisms arranged orthogonally to provide independent movement along X and Y directions. Each guide is powered by a stepper or servo motor, which drives motion via lead screws or timing belts. The motors receive coordinated signals from the microcontroller to achieve controlled displacement along both axes. By combining linear motions, the slider 106c enables precise bi-directional positioning of the extendable bar and clamp 106a. This allows efficient navigation within the chamber, supporting accurate retrieval and placement of medical substance containers during handling and transfer operations with high repeatability.
[0046] The motorized clamp 106a mentioned herein works by using an electric motor connected to a sliding jaw via a screw. The motor provides power to the screw that is attached to the fixed frame of the clamp 106a. As the screw rotates, it pushes or pulls the sliding jaw towards or away from the fixed jaw depending on the direction of rotation. This movement allows the clamp 106a for gripping the containers.
[0047] Each chamber 102 is also provided with an opening incorporated with the robotic arm 107 for transferring the containers onto the slid able tray 110. The slid able tray 110 operates as a retractable platform mounted on linear guide rails with low-friction bearings, enabling smooth outward and inward motion. A rack and pinion assembly drives the tray’s linear displacement, controlled by signals from the microcontroller to receive containers or tablets.
[0048] The robotic arm 107 contains an end effector and several segments that are attached together by motorized joints also referred to as axes. Each joints of the segments contains a step motor that rotates and allows the robotic arm 107 to complete a specific motion in translating the equipped end effector. The end effector further comprises of a pair of jaws hinged with each other by means of a bi-directional step motor. On actuation the step motor rotates and enables the opening/closing of the jaws of the effector for transferring the containers onto the slid able tray 110.
[0049] The handling assembly 106 further incorporates the infrared sensor, the laser sensor, and the force-sensitive resistor sensor, which together monitor the dimensions of containers, assess container integrity, and measure force applied during handling to prevent damage.
[0050] The infrared sensor mentioned herein operates by emitting infrared light beams toward the surface of a container. The reflected beams are captured by a photodiode or phototransistor, and the intensity of the reflection is analyzed to determine the container’s distance and dimensions. Variations in the reflected signal reveal the contour and shape of the object. The sensor provides real-time non-contact measurement, enabling the handling assembly 106 to detect container size, orientation, and presence accurately during manipulation without requiring direct physical contact, ensuring smooth and precise operations.
[0051] For an example, when a cylindrical medicine container is placed inside the chamber, the infrared sensor emits beams that reflect differently from its curved surface. The sensor measures these variations to calculate the container’s diameter and height. This real-time data is sent to the microcontroller, which instructs the handling assembly 106 to adjust the clamp 106a grip and positioning, ensuring the container is securely held and transferred without slippage or collision during automated dispensing
[0052] The laser sensor mentioned herein emits a focused beam of coherent light directed toward the container’s surface. The reflected laser light is captured by a position-sensitive detector, and the time-of-flight or triangulation principle is used to calculate accurate dimensional data. The sensor provides high-resolution measurements of surface geometry, edge alignment, and structural integrity. By detecting irregularities such as cracks or deformations, the laser sensor ensures container integrity before manipulation. The sensor precision allows the handling assembly 106 to make fine adjustments during gripping and transferring operations, ensuring safe and damage-free handling.
[0053] For an example, when a glass vial containing liquid medicine is positioned inside the chamber 102, the laser sensor projects a beam onto its surface. The reflected signal is analyzed to detect minor deviations, such as a hairline crack along the side wall. The sensor relays this information to the microcontroller, which prevents the handling assembly 106 from gripping the damaged vial, thereby avoiding spillage or breakage and ensuring only intact containers proceed for safe dispensing.
[0054] The force-sensitive resistor sensor mentioned herein works by changing its electrical resistance in response to applied pressure or force. The sensor consists of a conductive polymer layer whose resistance decreases as compressive force is applied during gripping operations. This resistance change is measured by the microcontroller and converted into force values. By monitoring the applied gripping pressure in real time, the FSR sensor ensures that the clamp 106a applies sufficient force to hold the container securely without exceeding a threshold that could cause damage. This feedback loop enables controlled and adaptive manipulation of medical substance containers.
[0055] For example, when the motorized clamp 106a grips a plastic medicine bottle, the force-sensitive resistor sensor measures the pressure applied on the bottle’s surface. If the clamp 106a exerts excess force that risks deforming or cracking the bottle, the sensor detects the increased resistance change and signals the microcontroller. The sensor then reduces clamp 106a pressure, ensuring the bottle is held firmly yet gently, allowing safe transfer without causing structural damage or leakage.
[0056] For tablets, the pill dispensing arrangement 108 includes the plurality of compartments 108a, each storing medicinal tablets. The motorized iris lid 108b positioned at the lower section of each compartment opens selectively to release the evaluated quantity of medicinal tablets as determined by the system.
[0057] The iris lid 108b mentioned herein is an adjusting circular aperture comprised of an actuation ring and a plurality of blades according to the size of the lid 108b. The blades are engraved with the protrusions through which the actuation ring is affixed to each blade. The actuation ring is connected to a motor, which helps in the movement of the actuation ring leading to the movement of blades inward or outward to change the size of the opening. When the blades close, the aperture becomes smaller, closing the lid 108b. When the blades open, the aperture widens, opening the lid 108b. This adjustment allows the iris lid 108b to control release the evaluated quantity of medicinal tablets.
[0058] The dispensed materials are collected on the tray 110. The tray 110 is equipped with the weight sensor for verifying the quantity of the dispensed substances to ensure accurate delivery before sliding outward through the slot carved on the kiosk 101 via a drawer means, allowing the user to collect the dispensed substances.
[0059] The weight sensor mentioned herein comprises of a transducer and a strain gauge. The force applied on the sensor due to weight load leads to the deformation of the strain gauge. The deformations are measured and the transducer converts the force to the electrical resistance which is sent as an electrical output to the microcontroller. The sensor detects the weight and as the weight recedes a pre-defined threshold limit, the signal is sent to the microcontroller.
[0060] The drawer means mentioned herein comprises of two plates which are connected through a slider 106c. The slider 106c consists of a sliding rail and a motorized slid able member connected to the sliding rail. The motorized slid able member is attached to the open ng carved on the frame and further to a motor which provides movement to the member in a bi-directional manner and movement to the plates. This way the drawer means expands/contracts allowing the user to collect the dispensed substances.
[0061] The herbal paste preparation module 109 installed within the kiosk 101 is configured to prepare wound-specific herbal formulations. The module includes the plurality of vessels 109a storing herbal materials and the receptacle for storing water.
[0062] Each vessel and receptacle is integrated with the motorized iris aperture 109b, which releases calibrated quantities of the herbal materials and water into the barrel 109c arranged underneath. The motorized stirrer 109d then mixes the ingredients to prepare the herbal paste.
[0063] The motorized iris aperture 109b mentioned herein is an adjusting circular aperture 109b comprised of an actuation ring and a plurality of blades according to the size of the lid. The blades are engraved with the protrusions through which the actuation ring is affixed to each blade. The actuation ring is connected to a control mechanism, such as a motor, which helps in the movement of the actuation ring leading to the movement of blades inward or outward to change the size of the opening. When the blades close, the aperture 109b becomes smaller, closing the iris aperture 109b. When the blades open, the aperture 109b widens, opening the iris aperture 109b which releases calibrated quantities of the herbal materials and water into the barrel 109c arranged underneath.
[0064] The motorized stirrer 109d mentioned herein operates using an electric motor coupled with a rotating shaft connected to stirring blades. When activated, the motor converts electrical energy into rotational motion, transmitting torque to the shaft. The blades rotate within the barrel 109c, creating a vortex that ensures uniform mixing of herbal materials and water. The motor speed is regulated by the microcontroller through pulse-width modulation (PWM), enabling adjustment of stirring intensity based on paste consistency. The continuous rotation disperses solid and liquid components evenly, breaking down clumps and promoting homogeneity.
[0065] The viscosity sensor monitors the consistency of the paste to ensure required quality before dispensing through the electronic nozzle 112 mounted on the exterior portion of the kiosk 101 for direct wound application. The viscosity sensor measures the resistance of the herbal paste to flow by monitoring changes in torque, vibration, or resonance frequency as the paste interacts with a sensing element. When paste surrounds the probe or vibrating plate, variations in shear stress are detected. These variations are converted into electrical signals proportional to viscosity. The sensor transmits the data to the microcontroller, which evaluates whether the paste consistency matches predefined thresholds. This ensures the paste maintains required flow properties and therapeutic quality, avoiding under-processed or overly thick formulations before dispensing.
[0066] For an example, when preparing an herbal paste for treating a deep cut, the motorized iris aperture 109b dispenses precise amounts of neem and turmeric powder along with water into the barrel 109c. The motorized stirrer 109d then mixes these components into a smooth paste. The viscosity sensor evaluates its flow consistency; if the paste is too thick, the microcontroller commands additional water release, ensuring the final paste is uniform, therapeutic, and ready for safe wound application.
[0067] The electronic nozzle 112 operates using a solenoid or piezoelectric actuator that precisely controls the opening and closing of the nozzle 112 outlet. When activated, the actuator generates a mechanical displacement, allowing pressurized paste from the preparation barrel 109c to flow through the nozzle 112 tip. Flow rate is controlled by modulating actuator signals, ensuring accurate dispensing quantities. The nozzle 112 design minimizes clogging and provides fine directional control, enabling paste to be applied directly onto the wound site. The microcontroller governs nozzle 112 activation, synchronizing with viscosity sensor feedback to guarantee consistent and safe delivery of the prepared herbal paste.
[0068] In an embodiment of present invention, the kiosk 101 is integrated with a dedicated disposal chamber designed specifically for used injections and syringes. The chamber is fabricated from high-strength, puncture-resistant material to ensure safe containment of sharp objects. A one-way entry slot is provided at the chamber’s upper portion, which allows insertion of syringes while preventing retrieval to ensure hygienic operation. The chamber is sealed to prevent leakage and contamination, and it is detachably mounted for periodic replacement or emptying. This arrangement ensures safe biomedical waste management, maintaining overall cleanliness of the system and preventing accidental exposure or cross-contamination during medical substance dispensing.
[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention the kiosk 101 is equipped with a seating platform provided at the front of the system is designed to offer a stable and comfortable area for the user to sit while accessing the system. The platform is constructed using durable materials capable of supporting varying user weights and maintaining balance during use. The platform surface is smooth and ergonomically shaped to enhance user comfort during medical assessment or treatment. The dimensions are optimized to accommodate different body types, ensuring accessibility for all users.
[0070] In an another embodiment of the present invention a lever arrangement integrated with the seating platform to facilitate controlled extension and retraction. The lever arrangement comprises a series of interconnected arms configured in a tenfold linkage pattern, which multiplies mechanical movement and ensures synchronized expansion of the overlapping plates forming the seating platform. When actuated, the linkage distributes force evenly across the arms, allowing smooth outward motion and precise positioning of the plates. The lever arrangement provides structural support, stability, and mechanical advantage, ensuring that the seating platform can reliably transition between retracted and expanded states during operation.
[0071] The system further incorporates the database interconnected with the microcontroller, which stores details of all medical substances, including expiry dates and batch numbers, along with user-specific medical details. The database supports treatment tracking, inventory management, and ensures reliable operation of the system.
[0072] For an example, when a user suffering from a dog bite approaches the system, the database retrieves the user’s medical history, including prior treatments and allergies, and cross-checks available medical substances stored in the chambers. Based on expiry dates and batch numbers, the database selects only valid medicines and directs the microcontroller to dispense an accurate dosage of antibiotics and pain relievers, while also updating inventory records for future tracking and management.
[0073] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the kiosk 101, which is configured with the plurality of chambers 102 for storing medical substances under controlled conditions. The sensing module continuously monitors real-time temperature and humidity inside each chamber, and the humidifier unit 103 dynamically regulates these parameters in response to environmental changes, ensuring optimal storage of the substances. The imaging unit 104 with OCR integrated within each chamber scans the labels of the stored substances, verifying integrity, expiry, and composition, while defective or expired items are identified and relocated by the handling assembly 106 into the designated removal chamber. When the user approaches, the exterior imaging camera 105 detects the presence of the user and analyzes wounds using image processing and deep learning protocols to determine type and severity. Based on this analysis and user data received through the input means, the system identifies the required substances for treatment. The handling assembly 106, equipped with the motorized clamp 106a, two-axis slider 106c, and robotic arm 107, retrieves and transfers the appropriate containers toward the pill dispensing arrangement 108.
