Abstract

There are a huge number of patients that require Palliative Care. These patients usually suffer from diseases like various types of cancer, AIDS, and many more. One of the most important problems that occur when solving Palliative Care is there are no tools available in the technical domain that can aid the patients. It faces another issue that there are no concrete methodologies to treat the patients effectively. Hence, there is no widespread availability to treat patients that need Palliative Care. The paper proposes a system that provides the faced in Palliative Care with the help of technology. The system, called PalliCare, aims to resolve a multitude of problems faced by the patients. This can be helpful to improve the lives of the patients and their families. The features include deep learning-based Facial Sentiment Analysis, a Medicine Delivery System, and a Therapy System that allows the patient to conduct therapy sessions online. The proposed system aims to integrate a variety of individuals - therapists, pharmaceutical companies, and NGOs to provide the above-mentioned features. The paper reviews in detail the existing technologies that can be used to build the system and expounds on their benefits. The goal is to serve an ever-growing need of patients requiring Palliative Care. Using modern technologies, PalliCare has the potential of revolutionizing the treatment of Palliative Care.
