Intelligent and Real-Time Intravenous Drip Level Indication

The ability of medical technology to diagnose and cure illnesses more successfully has revolutionised the healthcare sector. However, there is still a gap in monitoring intravenous (IV) drip bottles in real time. Real-time monitoring of IV bottles is crucial to prevent backflow of blood from the patient to the empty drip bottle, which can lead to severe consequences, including the patient's death. To address this issue, an Internet of Things (IoT)-based IV drip monitoring system has been proposed. The system incorporates a device that detects the fluid solution level and informs medical personnel via a buzzer and a website that shows the IV drip fluid levels of each patient in real time. This feature enables nurses to monitor each patient’s fluid intake and take necessary actions, thereby avoiding potential risks associated with overconsumption.
