Drip Monitoring System for Patient Care at Hospitals

In modern healthcare, Intravenous (I-V) therapy is indispensable for delivering medications and fluids to patients. However, challenges such as the need for constant I-V level monitoring, potential oversight of bottle replacement, insufficient equipment, and risks from reverse flow compel a comprehensive strategy. To address these challenges, our project focuses on optimizing I-V therapy administration through advanced monitoring systems with dash board user interface that includes visualization of live status, automated reminders for bottle replacement, and adjustments to existing devices. The integration of modern machinery not only increases the safety of I-V treatment but also aids to practicality by minimizing the possibility of issues associated to equipment. It also enables an improved productivity for nursing fraternity. Components include Arduino Mega, LED-LDR, GSM module, OLED display, servo motor controlled pinch valve, and the Blynk IoT platform. This collaborative effort aims to establish a robust framework for safe and efficient IV therapy, enhancing patient outcomes.
