IV Bag Online Monitoring System using Microcontroller

It is common practice to use saline to treat dehydration or loss of fluid. A bag usually contains crystalloid solutions example salty water or sugar water to treat dehydration. In recent times with the rise in health issues, the number of patients for saline treatment has increased and it is getting difficult for treating staff to constantly keep a check on them. With the advancement in technology and collaboration of engineering and medicine, we are able to find a solution using IoT i.e. Internet Of Things. Through this project, nurses and doctors will receive a notification and an alarm when the liquid in a saline bottle reaches a critical level. The non-contact level sensor will constantly keep a check on the level of liquid. When the level reaches a threshold level as programmed in the Arduino a notification will be sent to the treating staff over the WIFI module and an alarm will be raised. The app has been made using Flutter framework and Dart programming language on Visual Studio Code, through which, the treating staff as well as the patient’s relatives will be able to constantly keep track of liquid level and have access to patient’s data as well. Thus, the nurses will be able to fill the saline liquid level before a critical level is reached. In this way, we will be able to use technology in the healthcare industry where there will be errorless saline level treatment, constant level monitoring, and also easy management of patient data hence facilitating the treatment process. Our aim is to use minimum components and provide the most user-friendly and the above things used favor the condition. In this paper, we would like to give an introduction, give a brief about the components used, explain the implementation of hardware and the software process, and a conclusion with its future scope. We believe our project will reduce the workload on treating staff and give a safer treatment process.
