IOT-based saline bottle indicator designed
Surat: The students of Sarvajanik College of Engineering and Technology (SCET), part of the Sarvajanik Education Society, has got funding of Rs 50,000 from the Gujarat Technological University (GTU) for preparing ‘IOT Based Hospital Bottle Indicator’ prototype.
Students including Rishika Jain, Dhriti Uttamchandani, Priya Parekh, Nandani Patel and Reema Pandya- had proposed the project.
“We had presented our idea to GTU’s under the Students Start-up and Innovation Policy (SSIP) and secured funding to prepare its prototype.
This innovation is The Internet of Things (IOT) based on real time monitoring of saline fluid quantity status in the bottle,” Prof. Dhatri Pandya, who is guiding students on this project, told TOI.
Currently, the nurse has to physically check the saline level of the bottle. As the number of patients in the hospital increases due to Covid-19 infection, it becomes difficult for the nurse to monitor the saline level physically. “To ease the work for monitoring the saline level, IOT based hospital bottle indicator has been designed which will measure the saline quantity in the bottle, its flow and completion time,” added Pandya.
“We will submit the prototype within the next three months to GTU and then it will go for trial,” Pandya added.
