QNA Session
Q: What is VNA, and how does it differ from a regular medical robot?
A: VNA stands for Virtual Nursing Assistant, a sophisticated healthcare companion designed to provide real-time monitoring, emergency response, and remote medical support. Unlike regular medical robots, VNA integrates cutting-edge features like speech recognition, remote caregiver notifications, and a medication box for comprehensive health management.
Q: How does the real-time monitoring feature work, and what physiological metrics does it track?
​A: The real-time monitoring feature continuously analyzes vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate. It operates 24/7, ensuring immediate detection of anomalies. If a significant health concern is identified, the system triggers an alarm, prompting users to take immediate action.
Q: Can the VNA's emergency response be initiated manually?
​A: Yes, the VNA includes an emergency button that users can press to activate a well-designed emergency response. This ensures a swift and effective reaction to user requests, including contacting emergency services and notifying designated contacts.
​Q: What happens if a user is unable to press the emergency button during a health crisis?
A: The system features an automatic dialing of emergency numbers. If prolonged immobility or lack of movement is detected, the system initiates an emergency response by automatically calling the designated emergency number, ensuring timely assistance even when the user is unable to seek help themselves.
Q: How does the sound and light alarms function during emergencies?
​A: In unresponsive or dangerous situations, the system activates a neighborhood alarm system with a combination of audio and visual components. This ensures quick attention from those nearby, with carefully designed sounds to grab attention without unnecessary noise.
Q: What role does the medication box play in the VNA system?
​A: The medication box integrated into the VNA system serves as a mobile app reminder and a physical container for medication. It ensures users receive timely reminders on their smartphones, promoting adherence to prescribed regimens and providing detailed logs for medical examinations.
​Q: How does the speech recognition technology enhance user interaction with the VNA?
​A: Speech recognition technology allows users to engage with the system through voice commands. Users can inquire about their medication, check their prescription status, and receive instant feedback. This hands-free interaction makes the system more accessible and user-friendly.
​Q: Can remote caregivers receive alerts and reminders about the user's medication schedule?
​A: Yes, the system enables remote caregiver notifications, sending alerts directly to the guardian's smartphone. This feature enhances supervision, acting as an early warning system for potential issues with medication adherence, even when caregivers are not physically present.
