The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: The Smart IV Infusion & Fluid Balance Monitoring System is designed to continuously monitor intravenous fluid delivery and maintain accurate fluid balance in patients without manual supervision. In conventional hospital environments, IV flow monitoring relies heavily on nursing staff, which may lead to human errors such as delayed detection of empty bottles, flow irregularities, or over-infusion. These limitations can affect patient safety, especially in critical care settings. The proposed system integrates flow sensing, level detection, and intelligent control to track the infusion rate and total fluid administered to the patient in real time. A microcontroller-based unit processes sensor data and compares it with predefined safe limits. When abnormal conditions such as low fluid level, blockage, reverse flow, or completion of infusion are detected, the system immediately generates alerts through buzzer, indicator LEDs, or mobile notification modules.Additionally, the system supports basic fluid balance estimation by recording infused fluid data, which can assist healthcare professionals in patient monitoring and decision-making. The device operates on low power, ensuring safety and portability, and can be attached externally to standard IV setups without altering existing medical infrastructure.The Smart IV Infusion & Fluid Balance Monitoring System improves accuracy, reduces workload on healthcare staff, minimizes risks associated with improper infusion, and enhances patient safety. Its low cost, compact design, and ease of installation make it suitable for hospitals, clinics, and home-care environments, particularly in resource-limited healthcare facilities.
