IOT Based IV Bag Monitoring along with Heart Rate and Temperature Measurement

Abstract

During the peak hours of medical treatment especially during pandemic like Covid 19, healthcare professionals found themselves difficult to manage every patients. In such times, it is not possible for frontline workers to monitor every patient personally. IV bag is a medical technique used to deliver fluids, medications, and nutrition directly into a person’s vein. However, IV drips need to be regularly monitored and replaced and flow of the fluid also needs to be metered depending on the patient and their ailment. It uses a weight sensor to detect as the fluid level in the IV Infusion bottle goes down and transmits the data over IoT. The system measure heart rate, body temperature and weight of the IV bag. When the bottle has gone low level, it sends an alert over IoT. It makes it easier for a single individual to manage multiple patients. The weight sensor is used to measure the weight of the IV bag. The temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature and heart rate sensor is used to sense the heart rate. The current level of IV bag will be displayed on an Android app and this data is transmitted on IOT server via Wifi Module. This level is displayed on IOT server online.
