Abstract

The present healthcare scenario teaches quite a lot to humanity. The increasing ratio between patients and nursing staff deteriorates health care services. Simple saline can cause deadly patient situations and chaotic conditions for healthcare workers. A proper intravenous medication system can avoid reverse blood flow, blood clots, vein inflammation, extravasation, air embolism, and hypervolemia. This proposed research article is based on an Internet of Things-based low-cost smart saline micro pump for the healthcare system. The prime objective of this research article is to design an IoT-based micropump, and the micropump is placed between the saline bottle and the patient to control the flow precisely. The entire process is controlled by a mobile application to minimize the staff workload, time, and chaotic conditions. The controlled device has information like the working of the micropump, status parameters such as saline flow rate, saline injection time duration, the inflow of IV infusion to the patient, saline completion status, patient bed number, etc. Implementing the proposed system can be a stepping stone for new healthcare devices.
