FLUID CONTROL AND ALERT DEVICE USING SMART PHONE

Abstract

During recent years due to technological advancement many sophisticated techniques has been evolved for assuring fast recovery of the patients in the hospitals. For good care patient in the hospitals assessment and management of patient's fluid electrolyte need is the most fundamental thing required. All most in all hospital an assist/nurse is responsible for monitoring the fluid level continuously. But unfortunately during most of the time, the observer may forget to change the saline bottle at correct time due to their busy schedule this may leads to several problems to the patients such as backflow of blood, blood loss etc. To avoid this critical situation a low cost embedded based automatic alerting and indicating device is proposed where IR sensor is used to measure the flow of fluid and level of the fluid is measured using level sensor. The keyboard and smart phone used to increase and decrease the flow of fluid. This information can viewed in the mobile or LCD display.
