Intravenous (IV) therapy is a critical medical procedure used for delivering fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into a patient’s bloodstream. However, traditional IV monitoring relies on manual supervision, which can lead to human errors, delays, and life-threatening complications such as blood reflux and air embolism. The Smart Glucose Monitoring and Automated Alert System aims to enhance patient safety by introducing an intelligent, automated solution for IV fluid monitoring.

This system utilizes load sensors, bubble sensors, a servo motor, and IoT-based connectivity to continuously track IV fluid levels and detect air bubbles in the tube. When the fluid level drops below a predefined threshold, real-time alerts are sent via WiFi and GSM modules to hospital staff through mobile applications, dashboards, and buzzer alarms, ensuring timely intervention. Additionally, the servo motor automatically clamps the IV tube in critical conditions to prevent blood reflux.

By integrating smart sensors, automation, and real-time notifications, this system reduces medical negligence, enhances efficiency in hospitals, and ensures patient safety. The study highlights the importance of automation in IV monitoring, its impact on reducing complications, and its potential for future advancements in AI-driven healthcare systems. This solution is scalable across hospitals, ICUs, nursing homes, and home healthcare settings, making it a reliable and cost-effective approach to modern IV therapy management.
