IoT-Driven Infusion Monitoring & Management System

Abstract

This research investigates the monitoring and management of an intravenous drip infusion system using the Internet of Things (IoT) and non- contact liquid level sensors, an Arduino circuit board, a GSM interface, and a cloud storage facility. The three sensors in the system are able to detect the presence of fluid without coming into contact with it. They can also send the data they collect to the cloud facility, where it can be used to access drip conditions and monitor fluid levels as well as control infusion flow when needed. This system can be considered an improvement over several systems on the market that are similarly intended to use optical sensors, TDR (Time domain reflectometry), and other types of sensors to monitor the IV drip flow. While it is true that each type of sensor has a combination of benefits and drawbacks, none of the other systems on the market can further regulate the drip flow like this one does. Since the sensors we've employed don't respond to fluids, the patients don't suffer any damage at all. This is now a crucial necessity in the biomedical industry since human reliance on IV drip infusions has led to a number of incidents, the most serious of which involved the patient suffering severe injuries from back blood flow in the nozzle. This system is made to guarantee that all safety precautions are taken and that the patient and attendant are in the best possible circumstances in order to minimize such incidents, accurately monitor and control fluid flow from drip to patients' veins, and prevent back blood flow.
