Care that keeps staff safe.
MediBot delivers medication to patients in isolation wards and supports patient monitoring, so nurses can reduce unnecessary entries into high-risk rooms.
The problem
Every entry into an isolation room carries risk.
Healthcare workers in isolation wards face repeated exposure to infectious disease during routine tasks such as delivering medication. Reducing those entries protects staff and saves protective equipment.
patients in high-income countries acquire a healthcare-associated infection in acute-care hospitals.
in low- and middle-income countries.
affected patients die from their healthcare-associated infection.

How it works
How it works
A clear path from data to decision.
Load
Nurses load medication securely outside the isolation area.
Deliver
MediBot navigates to the patient's bedside.
Monitor
It supports patient monitoring and reports back to the care team.
Return
The robot returns for cleaning and the next task.
Product
What makes it different.
Every feature is grounded in the founding research.
Contactless delivery
Medication reaches the patient without a staff member entering the room.
Patient monitoring
Supports observation of patients in isolation.
Infection control
Fewer room entries means less exposure and less PPE used.
Built for wards
Designed around real isolation-ward workflows.

FAQ
Questions we hear often.
Does MediBot replace nurses?
No. It takes over routine delivery tasks so nurses can focus on care while reducing exposure.
Where can it be used?
Isolation wards, infectious-disease units and other areas where limiting contact matters.
Is this a finished commercial product?
It is a research-based student startup moving from validated prototype toward pilots with real users.
Can we partner or run a pilot?
Yes. We are looking for organisations willing to test the solution in real conditions and share feedback.
