Abstract: : In modern healthcare environments, especially during pandemics and critical health events, ensuring effective patient care while minimizing direct human contact has become paramount. This research focuses on the development of an Autonomous Robot for Hospital Application, designed to support healthcare professionals in routine tasks such as patient monitoring, delivery of medicines to wards and prescription of medicines. Equipped with various sensors, the robot monitors vital parameters such as body temperature, spo2 levels, heart rate, ECG, delivers medicines to wards and provide accurate prescriptions for ten general symptoms, including appropriate dosages, reducing the burden on medical staff and ensuring timely patient assistance. The system integrates autonomous navigation with obstacle avoidance, ensuring safe movement through hospital corridors. It also features a user-friendly interface for healthcare workers to interact with the robot effectively. By automating routine tasks and enabling remote patient engagement, this innovative solution enhances operational efficiency, reduces the risk of infection for healthcare workers, and ensures continuous patient care even during emergencies. This paper discusses the system's design, implementation, and potential impact, showcasing its contribution to advancing healthcare
