Abstract - The increasing demand for effective and precise medical care has necessitated the development of advanced systems in healthcare. One of the critical aspects of patient care is the accurate and continuous monitoring of intravenous (IV) fluid administration, which is vital for managing hydration, drug delivery, and electrolyte balance in patients. Traditional IV fluid management systems are prone to human error, inaccuracies, and inefficiencies. This paper proposes the design and implementation of a Smart IV Fluid Control System based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which enhances the automation, monitoring, and control of IV fluid administration.
The system integrates sensors, microcontrollers, and IoT connectivity to enable real-time monitoring of IV fluid levels, flow rates, and other critical parameters. The proposed system provides remote access for healthcare professionals, allowing them to track the progress and adjust settings remotely, which improves operational efficiency, reduces errors, and enhances patient safety. Key features include automated flow rate adjustments, alerts for anomalies (such as blockages or air bubbles), and data logging for patient history and treatment analysis. Additionally, the system incorporates machine learning algorithms to predict fluid requirements based on patient demographics, clinical data, and real-time conditions.
The proposed IoT-based Smart IV Fluid Control System represents a significant advancement over conventional manual methods, offering both operational benefits for healthcare providers and improved safety for patients. The system aims to reduce human intervention, ensure more precise fluid delivery, and provide comprehensive data for better patient care.
