Abstract
This study aimed at creating an intravenous fluid monitoring tool using the web-based NodeMCU ESP8266. The sensor consisted of a load cell sensor as a reader for the remaining infusion fluid, an optocoupler sensor as a blood detector, and a photodiode sensor to read the number of drops. In the event of dangerous situations such as an intravenous fluid running out, blood entering the intravenous line or the liquid is not dripping, the tool will give a warning through LED indicators, buzzer sound, and warning sounds on the web.
This system has an error value of 3.12% for mass readings, 6.47% errors for droplet readings and 0% errors for blood detection. This system works by utilizing a Wi-Fi internet network. This system is expected to enable nurses, doctors, and patients families to monitor the patients intravenous fluids remotely and in real-time during hospitalization.
