IOT BASED SALINE INFUSION MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM

Biomedical Engineering

During recent years, due to technological advancements, many sophisticated techniques have been evolved for assuring fast recovery of the patients in hospitals. The need for good patient care in hospitals, assessment, and management of fluid and electrolyte is the most fundamental thing required. All most in all hospitals and assist/nurses are responsible for monitoring the electrolyte bottle level. But unfortunately most of the time, the observer may forget to change the bottle at the correct time due to their busy schedule. To overcome this critical situation, an IoT based automatic alerting and indicating the device is proposed where the sensor used here is a level sensor or weight sensor. It is based on the principle that the sensor output changes when fluid level/weight is below a certain limit. When Fluid level/weight is low, it will alert the observer through the website at the control room indicates the room number of the patient for quick recovery. Hospital uses simple electrolytes bottles with no indication, it may create a problem for the patient because the reverse flow will start, blood starts to flow from the body towards the bottle. In, Hospital ICU, CCU, OT, requires such kind of automatic monitoring and indication system. The proposed system consists of a sensor used for monitoring the critical level of the saline liquid in the saline bottle and a mechanism that will stop the saline flow automatically after the saline bottle is completely empty.
