Abstract
Abstract. In case of COVID-19 epidemic spread the requirements for protection of medical personnel were increased. This category of specialists has exposure of high risk of COVID-19, due to inevitable numerous contacts with infected persons.Because of this, existing practicable models of medical care are needed to be upgraded (Tavakoli, 2020). The emergency response path was implemented through the opening of new infectious hospitals, re-profiling clinics, as well as increasing workload on medical personnel. This approach is associated with the possible rapid drop-up of qualified medical specialists due to the illness, which is a strong limiting factor to respond to new threats of COVID-19 due to the risks of exhaustion of the human resource. In the worst scenario, a threat of collapse of the emergency and specialized medical care system due to peak load of severe patients under the shortage of doctors and support personnel. To prevent such an emergency, a complex of anti-epidemic events is provided, most of the purpose of interrupting infection contacts, isolation of the most vulnerable contingents, extended population testing for virus or contact with infected persons, this allows you to follow unwanted contacts with the subsequent mobility limitation.Digital monitoring technologies with digitization of incoming data of significant events played the increasing role in all these options. Today they are complemented by robotic supporting. Due to the high risk of the infection in the COVID-19 spread, including the intra-clinic infections, the requirements for reliable disinfection of closed premises intended for patients and medical personnel should be fulfilled. At the same time, the following circumstance should be taken into account. When these work-time activities are imposed on the employee who is forced to stay long in an infected air environment, he is subjected to additional impact of pathogenes. To reduce these threats, robotic support for the work for disinfection of premises with automated air environment control and tracing contacts.
Highlights
As noted above, there are various ways of active opposition to the spread of COVID-19
This functionality has not been so much in demand, there are a number of useful applications of robotic medical complexes (RMC), which help reduce the workload on medical personnel even outside the epidemiological context
As one of the fundamental requirements, the achievement of a sufficiently high level of adaptively of the RSM to the working environment of medical personnel and the known level of autonomy, which allowed to determine the significant role of technical vision systems (VS) in different functionality of specialized robots
Summary
There are various ways of active opposition to the spread of COVID-19. Among the most preferable ways is the path of reducing infectious load on each person, which leads to the idea of expanding the role of robotic technologies to identify pathogenes in working areas, disinfection of problematic locations, as well as using digital technologies for epidemiological tracking of the most likely infection chains in the visit of these places (Tavakoli, 2020) Until recently, this functionality has not been so much in demand, there are a number of useful applications of robotic medical complexes (RMC), which help reduce the workload on medical personnel even outside the epidemiological context. When the COVID-19 spread, the resort to such RMC allow to release the medical personnel from auxiliary operations for more important tasks of conducting severe patients For such target as reducing the level of infectious load in problematic locations of the working environment of medical personnel, today the rational way is to modify existing products if they can serve the prototypes of products with anti-epidemic functionality. The requirements for the functionality of the RMC in the field of health protection of medical personnel, recommended by regulatory documents and methods of epidemiological control and disinfection of the working environment, have been established
