Automated Intravenous Fluid Monitoring and Alerting System

This paper emphasizes Intravenous fluid monitoring(IV) using load cell and heart beat sensors. Intravenous therapy is a typical method of treatment which may be used for better modification of electrolyte imbalances in the body, to deliver medications, for transfusion of blood or fluid injection. The proposed method lowers chance of heart attack due to air embolism and reduces difficulties involved in IV therapy. Periodic therapy especially in the case of chemotherapy can be effectively carried out. The necessity to monitor IV administration is profound and this paper presents a solution to the above problem.
