Intravenous Bag Monitoring and Alert System – A Prototype
摘要
In everyday healthcare, professionals such as doctors and nurses regularly administer IV fluids to deliver nutrients and medications directly into a patient’s bloodstream. Manual observation of IV fluid levels in busy medical environments poses a significant challenge to doctors and nurses. The proposed solution, an IV Bag Monitoring and Alert System incorporates a non-contact capacitive fluid level sensor and ESP32 technology. This system monitors the IV fluid level externally and alerts healthcare providers when the fluid drops below a predefined threshold. The device is versatile, compact, and compatible with various types of IV containers. It integrates with the Blynk platform for data surveillance through a user-friendly interface and sends notifications to healthcare professionals through a centralized web-based application. This provides efficient remote monitoring by providing real-time alerts & notifications.
