LDR Sensor Based Smart Intravenous Drip System

In recent years, a plethora of technologies have emerged that help in the treatment of patients and ensure a quick and risk-free recovery. The most basic need is a well-trained medical team that can keep track of patients' fluid and electrolyte levels and provide appropriate treatment. Patients in hospitals, particularly those in the critical care unit, rely on drips to regulate the amount of fluids and electrolytes entering their bloodstream around the clock, every day of the week. Patients' drips should be checked on or replaced often to prevent the spread of infection. Overcrowding and a likely scarcity of nurses, despite the system's apparent simplicity of use, may leave patients in risk, hastening the decline of their health or even causing death. Nurses or other medical staff often check the strength of a patient's drip. An alert observer may keep track of the time and remember to refill the bottle when it's needed. Due to the high volume of patients seeking treatment in hospitals during the outbreak, nurses were unable to keep tabs on each individual patient's drip status and infusion rate no matter how many extra hours they put in. Some patients died because the nurses ignored them. The next step in providing better healthcare at a more convenient and affordable price is to automate such vital activities. To combat this critical issue, we present a Drip Monitor System that uses Light-Dependent Resistant (LDR) sensors to streamline the measuring process and prevent errors caused by bubble formation in drips.
