Ugandan inventor designs robot to reduce contact between health workers, COVID patients
Ugandan inventor Victor Paul Kawagga has come up with an innovative device to help medical staff treat COVID patients while staying safe, as footage filmed in Kampala on Saturday shows.
As the pandemic is putting doctors and nurses at risk, Victor designed a small robot capable of testing patients' temperature and delivering medicines. The device, which was built from scraps, wood and old computer parts, is meant to 'bridge the gap' and reduce contact between health workers and patients infected with COVID.
The testing information is transmitted remotely on a computer, while the robot collects samples and deliver medicine to hospitalized patients through its small arm. The system will relieve the workload of medical staff in the country, who are exposed to a greater risk of transmission as they often lack personal protection equipment.
Victor, who unveiled the prototype, hopes his robot will be ready in about two months.
