Intravenous Fluid Tracker Using Embedded Systems

The paper report an improvement and modification in an intravenous fluid tracker focusing on better and more simplified fluid therapy management. The designed for embedded system, real time system continuing to monitor fluid volume, flow rate, and air in the IV bag. The system is made out of multiple sensors connected to an Arduino microcontroller. Meanwhile, the microcontroller is connected to the wireless network of the hospital and the monitoring system. For each alert in the monitoring system, the microcontroller sends an SMS, an App and it includes a notification for the hospital?s nurse call system. The increase of medical response in real time system minimizes the IV complication, reduces the monitoring manual work and makes the process safer and more efficient for the patient and the clinic.
