Research and Development of Intelligent Infusion Alarm Device Based on Weight Sensing

An intelligent infusion alarm device developed based on weight sensing is rising in response to the deficiencies and hazards of the current infusion device. This paper introduces the development of this alarm device in four aspects, including hardware design, software design, fixed end interface design and smartphone app interface design. This intelligent infusion alarm device is able to monitor the weight changes of infusion bottle constantly through a weight sensor and related mechanism, enabling real-time check on the circumstances of infusion. Thus, it assures patients safety in infusion while allowing their family members be off for medicine, medical report, etc. at the time the patients don't need to be taken care.
