Real time cost effective e-saline monitoring and control system

Abstract

Current health care organization requires manual caretakers and their heavy duties become a social problem in the modern world which is an extremely time-consuming job. We are proposing a system in which remote drip infusion monitoring and control system has been developed for hospitals. The system contains numerous Infusion monitoring devices, control system, and a central monitor. The infusion monitoring device using an IR sensor which can detect or sense the drip infusion rate(drops per minute), remaining time, an empty infusion solution bag at particular critical set level and also show remaining infusion capacity displayed on central monitor and this information will be sent wirelessly to the crucial or central monitor placed at the nurse's control room and also from central monitor, nurses can control the drip infusion rate. The central monitor receives the data from several infusion monitoring or supervising devices and then displays all the information tabular form to the host PC. The proposed system eliminates continuous on vision/sight monitoring of the patient by nurses.
