Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre (MMHRC) inaugurated Tanjore Air Barrier Technique (TABT) to deliver compressed medical grade air to healthcare professionals in operation theatres through a hood and bluetooth stethoscope.
TABT will let doctors listen to internal organs of the patients without using a stethoscope. This ensures better safety of patients and doctors.
Dr S Gurushankar, chairman, MMHRC, Madurai, said, “The programme is all about creating redundant layers of protection against Covid-19 infection so that inpatients, outpatients, our doctors, paramedical and administrative staff can avail and provide necessary healthcare services without any fear of Covid-19 spread.”
The six-stage safety programme makes use of AI and robotics for contactless detection of symptoms in visitors, sterilisation of indoors, contactless check-up and treatment.
The stages of protection include smart security with smart infrared AI helmets to check temperature of visitors remotely, smart fever clinics and smart thermal surveillance cameras that continuously check the temperature of everyone in the premises.
Robots have also been deployed to sterilise the hospital and for periodically supplying food and medicine to patients in their rooms.
