Review on IoT-Driven Infusion Monitoring & Management System

Abstract

Effective intravenous (IV) infusion management and monitoring are essential in today's healthcare environment to guarantee patient safety and improve the standard of care. In order to overcome the drawbacks of conventional IV drip monitoring techniques, this study describes the creation of a contactless, Internet of Things-driven infusion monitoring and management system. With the use of cutting-edge sensor technology and Internet of Things connection, the suggested system combines real-time IV drip liquid level monitoring and control, delivering precise and ongoing updates. Healthcare practitioners may now monitor and analyse patient data remotely thanks to the gathered data's constant updating and transmission to the Think Speak cloud platform. With its combination of real- time data collecting, cloud-based analytics, and emergency alert features, the proposed contactless IoT-driven infusion monitoring and management system represents a substantial improvement in healthcare technology. Using the power of IoT and cloud computing, this invention seeks to enhance overall patient outcomes, optimize IV treatment administration, and decrease human monitoring efforts. To increase patient safety, the system has an emergency alarm mechanism based on GSM modules. This feature ensures that caregivers are notified promptly of any irregularities or critical IV drip levels, allowing for prompt treatment. By providing real-time signals, the device lessens the risks related to delayed reactions to IV fluid failure or depletion. Formulating a real-time model for IV drip liquid level monitoring is the main goal of the system. By employing non-invasive sensors to identify and record the drip rate and fluid levels, this gadget assures precise tracking without having physical contact with the IV apparatus.
