IV (Intravenous) Tube Flow Control Device with IOT

Abstract

This project deals with efforts to upgrade the working of existing IV(Intravenous).This is possible by connecting every IV bottle to the Internet using IOT(Internet of Things) technology. So every bottle and basically every patient can be monitored remotely via a website. In this project a Capacitive sensor is used to sense that whether there is fluid available in the bottle or not, if sensors detects air in the bottle, then this data will be send to NodeMCU which will have an actuator connected and actuator on the command of NodeMCU will stop the flow in the tube. This NodeMCU board has WI-FI Capability which will be used to send this data online, to a web server and from that web server data can be accessed by nurses and doctors. This significance of this project is to develop an IV with capabilities so that flow of an IV can automatically stop and a notification will be send to the nurses and doctors such that it will reduce the work of nurses and doctors and also help to reduce the causalities related to IV.
