About Pharmy Un Robot Mòbil Autònom

Robot de navegació autònom per logística hospitalària. És un sistema de servei de productes per a realitzar lliuraments eficaços i segurs, disminuint les possibilitats que el professional sanitari estigui exposat a emmalaltir, frenant malalties pandèmiques entre el personal de l’hospital i els pacients (COVID-19 o H1N1). El disseny ajuda a gestionar els enviaments hospitalaris amb fàcil accés i seguretat, utilitzant una interacció sense usuaris complicada mitjançant la tecnologia simpàtica. Les unitats robòtiques tenen la capacitat de moure's autònomament en un entorn interior i tenen un flux sincronitzat amb unitats similars, podent robotitzar el treball col·laboratiu en equip.

Production Technology
The manufacturing process uses the following technologies: metal stamping and plastic injection. The product receives in some parts that composes it, the epoxy painting process as well. The materials used are: carbon steel, 304 stainless steel rollers, ABS plastic, nylon, armor-plated bearings and LEDs.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge was to promote the efficient management of an interdisciplinary project involving several stakeholders (designers, engineers, nurses, doctors, patients and IT professionals). The project should integrate both uses, hospital and factory and follow international rules regarding the hospital environment (safety, hygiene, asepsis, etc.) and indoor logistics (factories or other commercial establishments).
Research
Desk Field, Focus Groups, Consumer Insights, Trend Mappings. We collect all data through immersive process including consumer, designers and multidisciplinary teams (marketing, engineer, anthropology, etc.). Objective: Bring innovation and differentiation to Latin America market. Method: Consumer-Centric Insights with Design based approach to solving problems. Steps: Research (map and understand), Conceptualize (alternative generation), Visualize (renderings), Realize (prototype) and Implement.
Inspiration
Inspired by Latin American hospitals, where health professionals are improperly allocated and get exposed to pandemics diseases as Coronavirus (COVID-19) or H1N1 influenza. As consequence, patients receive less attention or the hospital is forced to bear the cost of hiring professionals. Pharmy is an innovator in this market, delivering efficiency, convenience and reducing operating costs. The product also provides the flexibility to be used in other environments (industry, commerce).
Project Duration
The project has started in June 2019 and finished in December 2019. All project and development has been made in Brazil.
Operation Flow
Pharmy is a single unit robot or network synchronized system, used in hospitals and factories logistics. It is composed by a robotic structure attached to 5 drawer cabinet or chest. It maps the environment and supply medicines at the nursing station. Each drawer has independent digital opening, ensuring safe and individual access. The unit is loaded and starts the autonomous navigation to delivery point through corridors, in low speed, accessing elevators and avoiding obstacles or people.
