Smart IV Bag Monitoring and Alert System

In recent years, technological innovations have considerably improved patient care and accelerated the healing process. Effective hydration and electrolyte management are two of the most important parts of hospital care. Intravenous(IV) treatment is critical, especially for patients in intensive care units (ICUs). However, the difficulties of overloaded hospitals frequently impede the seamless administration of this critical care. Currently, manual monitoring of IV drip levels is the responsibility of nurses and hospital employees. Unfortunately, their hectic schedules might lead to mistakes and omissions. Acknowledging the significance of tackling this core problem, the suggestion involves the creation of an independent, self-regulating drip monitoring system utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This entails the incorporation of ultrasonic and LDR sensors with the ESP8266, all programmed using Arduino UNO language. This novel technology intends to revolutionize drip monitoring by overcoming obstacles such as bubble formation in IV drips and removing the need for sophisticated alarm systems. This suggested system has far-reaching implications. Nurses and hospital personnel will be freed of the burden of manual monitoring by automating the procedure, freeing up their time and attention to focus on other vital patient care activities. The capacity of the device to identify air bubbles will help to avoid potential difficulties and adverse outcomes caused by inappropriate infusion. Furthermore, IoT technology allows for real-time data transfer and remote monitoring, allowing healthcare practitioners to receive precise and up-to-date information about fluid levels and any abnormalities from any place. We can usher in a new era of efficient and dependable IV fluid management by embracing technological innovations in healthcare, improving patient outcomes, and promoting a safer healthcare environment.
