TL;DR: This study will go through the researches done in this particular field of monitoring and alerting techniques, and will see how different ideas are implemented.
Abstract: In today's world of automation, there are advancements going on in all the fields. Each work is being automated day by day. However, if we see our current medical care system, some areas require manual caretaker and are loaded with heavy jobs, which consumes a lot of time. Nevertheless, since the work is related to human health, it should be properly done and that too with accuracy. An example of such a particular work is injecting saline or Intravenous (IV) fluids in a patient. The monitoring of such fluids needs utter attention as if the bottle of the fluid is not changed on time, it may lead to various problems for the patients like backflow of blood, blood loss etc. Various researches have been performed to overcome such critical situation. Different monitoring and alerting techniques are described in different researches. So, in our study, we will go through the researches done in this particular field and will see how different ideas are implemented.

TL;DR: In order to reduce the workload and overcome such critical situation in the area of an intravenous drip monitoring system, a system called Automated Intravenous Drip Monitoring System is proposed.
Abstract: In our current medical care system, the monitoring of patients in a hospital throughout the day is a tiresome process. Sometimes Doctors or Nurses are too busy, so they can't monitor each patient. This causes many problems. The health related work should be properly done and that too with accurate manner. An example of such type of work in our hospital is injecting saline or Intravenous (IV) fluids in to the vein of patient. If the drip system is not monitored on time, it will causes problems like backflow of fluid, blood loss etc. In order to reduce the workload and overcome such critical situation in the area of an intravenous drip monitoring system, we proposed a system called Automated Intravenous Drip Monitoring System.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented an IoT-based system to address issues such as fluid backflow, blood loss, and so on by using an Arduino-based microcontroller to manage the drop rate, detect tube obstruction, and warn the user when drips are emptied.
Abstract: ABSTRACT: The major goal of this project is to develop a saline drip detection and control system used to inject saline or intravenous fluids into a patient's veins. This project presents an IoT-based system to address issues such as fluid backflow, blood loss, and so on. Solution to concerns like fluid backflow and blood loss, among others. As a result, we devised the Automated Intravenous Drip Monitoring System. In this project, we utilize an Arduino-based microcontroller to manage the drop rate, detect tube obstruction, and warn the user when the drips are emptied. Here we are going to monitor the drip rate whether it is low or over, by using ultrasonic sensor. By using the MEMS motion sensor, we can also detect the patient's movement while taking drips after they have undergone some surgery or in ICU condition. In addition, we are going to estimate the possibilities of blood clotting in the veins of the patient. If motion is detected in the infusion hose, the sensors will alert the doctors or nurses with a buzzer and an LED light. The flow rate and infusion interruption problems were monitored by transmitting the data wirelessly via Bluetooth via their smart phones using mobile applications and computer-based applications. As a result, at the nurse's station, the developing system can closely monitor the drip infusion situation of numerous patients.

TL;DR: This article builds a distributed framework of organized healthcare model for the purpose of protecting patient data in a distributed system.
Abstract: The concept of big data is now treated from different points of view covering its implications in many fields remarkably including healthcare. To achieve the wealth of health information, integrating, sharing and availing data are the essential tasks that ultimately demand the concept of distributed system. However, privacy and security of data are the matter of concern, as data need to be accessed from various locations in the distributed system. The present study first provides a broad overview on big data and the effectiveness of healthcare big data for non-expert readers. Then, this article builds a distributed framework of organized healthcare model for the purpose of protecting patient data.

TL;DR: The development of saline flow rate monitor using flow rate sensor, microcontroller as coordinator and RF ZigBee module to transmit and receive the signal is described.
Abstract: During last few decades, the population of the world has been increasing exponentially. This in turn increases the need for health care experts. But the ratio of number of health care experts to that of the number of people needing the expertise is unsatisfactory, especially in developing countries. This necessitates the use of remote health monitoring devices. This paper describes the development of saline flow rate monitor using flow rate sensor, microcontroller as coordinator and RF ZigBee module to transmit and receive the signal. Saline is often given to patients to rehydrate and fulfill the water and salt needs which depends on the patient. Hence it is necessary to keep the saline flow rate in check. The mentioned system enables the doctor or the nurse to monitor the flow rate of saline remotely.

TL;DR: The idea is to provide cost effective, reliable and automatic saline flow monitoring system which can be easily implemented in any hospital and can be easy for doctors as well as nurses to monitor the saline flow from a distance.
Abstract: bstract Traditional methods used for health care are becoming obsolete due to increase in population. Current health care system requires manual care takers and their heavy duties which is very time consuming job. Innovative health monitoring systems are required with less human intervention which will be available at low cost in rural as well as urban areas. Engineering technologies are getting coupled with medical field to solve this problem. Sophisticatedhealth monitoring systems are getting developed with the help of electronic components such as sensors, PLC,microcontrollers etc. with easy interfacing.This paper mainly focuses on providing advanced saline level monitoring system. The idea is to provide cost effective, reliable and automatic saline flow monitoring system which can be easily implemented in any hospital and can be easy for doctors as well as nurses to monitor the saline flow from a distance. The proposed system eliminates continuous on sight monitoring of patient by nurses or doctors. Due to the use of microcontroller ATMEGA 328, wireless module CC2500, Bluetooth module and IR sensors, the system can be made available at very low cost. Thesame circuit can be reused for another saline bottle giving only one time investment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dual use system for short distance inventory management and moderate distance automatic warning system for low intravenous (IV) fluid levels is designed, which allows for two different operational modes (moderate and short distance).
Abstract: Radio frequency identification (RFID) readers are powered RF devices that communicate with an RFID tag to read necessary information. Using this capability, a dual use system for short distance inventory management and moderate distance automatic warning system for low intravenous (IV) fluid levels is designed. The RFID is affixed on the IV drip bag; the fluid in bag affects the antenna transmission distance by fluid dielectric conditions. This allows for two different operational modes (moderate and short distance). For pharmaceutical management, a handheld RFID reader can be used for short distance application. Another stationary RFID system can serve as a warning system for long distance application such as hospital care.

TL;DR: In this article, the aim of the project is to inform the doctor about the ICU patient condition through wireless communication, and the aim is to provide a device which continuously monitors the vital parameters of a patient and do data logging continuously.
Abstract: The aim of this project is to inform the doctor about the ICU patient condition through wireless. For the medical professionals it becomes important to continuously monitor the conditions of a patient. In a large setup like a hospital or clinical center where a single doctor attends many patients, it becomes difficult to keep informed about the critical conditions developed in each of the patients. This project provides a device which will continuously monitor the vital parameters to be monitored for a patient and do data logging continuously. If any critical situation arises in a patient, this unit also raises an alarm and also communicates to the concerned doctor by means of an SMS to the doctor.
