Robotic Process Automation in the Medical Sector

Abstract

Robotic process automation (RPA) is a new technology that aims to automate repetitive and regular human processes. Numerous chronic patients have perished as a consequence of inappropriate drug delivery. While the hospital meals and drugs may provide enough amounts of energy and nutrition, many patients fail to take their medications on time, which worsens their condition. In this work a detailed discussion about the adoption of RPA in the medicine sector is discussed. The comparison of RPA and traditional IT-based automation has been made, and the benefits of RPA have been mentioned. The challenges faced while involving automation in the medical sector have been elaborated, and proper solutions have been suggested. Finally, an automated pill delivery system for patients that will notify the patient when it is time to take their medicine and provide the necessary number of pills has been proposed.
