Modern days are not so comfortable for the elderly people compare to young people, because naturally they are passing a lonely day for a longer period of time. Elderly and physically weak people would like to lead an independent and quality life in their everyday lonely period, and some physical or mental support may help to improve their lifestyle. Today young people cannot give proper attention to them for their own engagements and that has a massive impact to the healthcare of the elderly people. Healthcare is considered as an important issue all over the world, and developed countries always try to ensure better healthcare support to the civilians in different ways, whereas South Asian developing countries do not pay much attention to this aspect. There exist some multi-purpose robots, which are developed to assist elderly people, but the cost is significantly higher that people from developing countries cannot afford this. From this perspective, to support their healthcare, we are thinking of similar kind of low cost solution. This paper deals with the development of a mini healthcare bot which is able to assist the elderly people to take medicines as per to their schedule. This bot was initially built only for research purpose and now we can consider it as full functioning robot.
