Abstract

Timely and accurate intravenous (IV) fluid administration, especially glucose, is very important in critical care settings such as Intensive Care Units (ICUs), where fluid management should be very precise to ensure the safety of patients. Conventional methods of monitoring glucose bottle levels are often manual checks that lead to delays and human error. The proposed IoT-Based GlucoGuardian is a state-of-the-art system for remotely monitoring and controlling IV glucose drips in real-time, built using IoT. The fluid level and flow rate sensors enable real-time monitoring of glucose infusion to alert the care providers at critical threshold breaches and flow irregularities. The advance alerting ensures that patients avoid complications associated with delayed responses. This enhances operational efficiency and reduces the need for frequent manual interventions in monitoring the system. This, in turn, frees medical personnel to concentrate on other critical care tasks. The IoT-enabled monitoring solution represents a significant advancement in critical care management and provides a reliable and efficient method for monitoring IV fluid administration.
