Iot Intraveous Fluid Monitoring and Alerting

This document describes an IoT intravenous fluid monitoring and alerting system. The system uses a weight sensor attached to an IV bag stand to measure fluid levels. It sends alerts when the bag is empty and transmits data to an online dashboard. This allows single healthcare workers to remotely monitor multiple patients and ensures IV drips are changed in a timely manner. The system aims to help patients recover quickly during crises when staffing is limited.

IOT INTRAVEOUS FLUID MONITORING AND ALERTING

During the peak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, healthcare professionals found themselves spread
thin among the ever-increasing wave of incoming patients. In such times, it is not possible for
frontline workers to monitor and tend to each and every patient personally.

Intravenous therapy is a medical technique used to deliver fluids, medications and nutrition
directly into a person's vein. IV therapy is commonly used for rehydration and to provide
nutrients and is crucial to help an individual with making a speedy recovery.

However, IV drips need to be regularly monitored and replaced. The flow of the fluid also needs
to be metered depending on the patient and their ailment. This IoT Intravenous Fluid
Monitoring uses a weight sensor to detect as the fluid level in the IV Infusion bottle goes down
and transmits the data over IoT.

Once the system detects that the bottle has gone empty, it sends an alert over IoT. The IoT
Intravenous Fluid Monitoring and Alerting system provides the following advantages:

 Automatic IV Bag Monitoring and Alert


 Data Logging as well as IOT Online Transmission
 Easy to operate
 Makes it easier for a single individual to manage multiple patients.

The system makes use of a Weight Sensor with an Atmega microcontroller and Wifi transmitter
and LCD display to achieve this functionality. This allows for an automated and robust IV
monitoring system.
The Weight Sensor is attached to a small stand. The stand is fabricated with a cross section at
bottom to balance it. A small rod stretching from the top allows user to suspend the weight
sensor hook on the stand.
The weight sensor is used to measure the weight of empty IV bag at first. This is considered as
empty weight. When the IV bag is suspended onto the sensor stand, it keeps on dripping until
the fluid runs out.
The weight sensor value is constantly transmitted to atmega microcontroller. The controller
constantly processes this data and processes it. The current level of IV bag is parallely displayed
on an LCD display. Also this data is transmitted on IOT server via Wifi Module. This level is
displayed on IOT server online. As soon as the level falls below certain level it LCD display as
well as Online dashboard displays as bag empty.

Components:

 Atmega Microcontroller
 Weight Sensor
 Wifi Module
 IV Bag Stand
 Hooks
 LCD Display
 IC and IC Base
 Resistors
 Capacitors
 Transistors
 Diodes
 Adapter

Advantages:
 Easy to Operate
 Low Power Consumption
 Automatic Data Logging
 Useful for managing large number of patients during times of crisis.

Disadvantages:
 Limited Range
 Limited Operating Time as per Battery Capacity
