Infusion monitoring using WiFi (802.11) through MQTT protocol

Abstract

Infusion is part of treatment to get drugs or vitamins into body. This is efficient way to accelerate treatment because it faster while absorbed in body and can avoid impact on digestion. If the dosage given does not match or fluids into the body getting too much, it causing disruption to the patient's health. The main objective of this paper is to provide information on the speed and volume of the infusion that being used by each patient using a photodiode sensor and node.js server can distinguish each incoming data by utilizing topic features on MQTT. Topic feature used to exchange data using ESP8266 identity and the data being sent is the volume and velocity of the infusion. Topics, one of features on MQTT, can be used to manage the data from multiple infusion into the server. Additionally, the system provides warning information of the residual volume and velocity limit when the infusion rate exceeds the normal limit that has been specified by the user.
