IoT based Healthcare Monitoring and Intravenous Flow Control

Abstract

Technology has revolutionized the field of medicine with the IOT automating the various features of healthcare. The objective here is to create a wireless system which enables real-time healthcare monitoring of patients with primary focus on Intra Venous (IV) fluid flow control and regulation. The system also records the pulse rate and constantly monitors the body temperature of the patient. In conventional methods, doctors or nurses need to be present physically to monitor a patient’s condition and also to stop the IV infusion to prevent the backflow of blood into the IV tubing. The current method intends to automatically stop the IV infusion once it is completed and notify the doctor and nurse about the same via an app which would also contain the patient’s primary details. This will reduce the need for constant human intervention for these purposes and hence, would avoid the risk of emergencies. In this project, a cyber-physical system architecture based on ontology will be designed and developed. Also, it will be capable of automatically monitoring the health conditions of the patient with lesser manpower in a secured manner.
