摘要：Chest pain is one of the most frequently occurring symptoms after stomach and abdominal problems in USA. Heart disease is one of the highest occurring diseases that can be cured up to an extent if rapid medication is provided. The statistics around the world including Pakistan show a similar trend. Hence, a timely pre-hospital treatment can provide a possible way to cure the emergency patients. In this work, a healthcare vending machine is designed and its working has been shown. The machine can be installed near tolls at highways or in closed setups as well so that pre hospital medical aid can be provided to the patients with chest pain and related symptoms of cardio vascular disease. The proposed vending machine can also be used in suburban and rural areas of Pakistan so that a vast majority of population could be benefited. The vending machine uses Arduino-Uno based electronic engine. It can accept a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card as well as cash payments. Additionally, it also contains the GSM connection to inform the related company to fill the vending machine with required medical items as soon as the supply is about to finish.
