- Description
- Intravenous therapy is the standard medical procedure that is used for administering medications directly into the vein. The automated drug infusion devices are designed in such a way that they provide exact medication doses with safety measures included. On the other hand, this is why they must be regularly watched by healthcare providers. This paper introduces a cloud-based IoT drug infusion system that was developed to address remote patient care needs. This system enables remote, accurate, and secure management of medication delivery. Its key contributions include allowing healthcare providers to control and monitor IV infusions remotely while maintaining safety features. The system consists of a microcontroller that is responsible for data processing, a control system that oversees infusion rate regulation, and an IoT-based framework that allows for remote monitoring and alerts via a user-friendly web interface. This new approach to care will therefore improve patient care by providing remote management of medications.
