Technological advancements are propelling medical technology towards automation through the application and widespread use of automatic control, sensing, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. Currently, IoT technology has been extensively applied in medical devices, aiming to ensure patient safety through more real-time detection and more effective management. In the monitoring of intravenous infusion, accurately sensing the infusion conditions in real time is particularly important. This article introduces a low-cost smart infusion device based on IoT technology, which controls the infusion rate with a peristaltic pump and monitors the volume of fluid delivered. It uses an improved, self-calibrating weighing sensor to achieve the real-time closed-loop control of the flow rate, ensuring patient safety. Additionally, the Blynk dashboard can be used for monitoring and controlling the flow rate and infusion volume.
