IV Bag Monitoring

The Challenge:

Need to constantly monitor hospital multiple patients' IV bags:

  • How much IV is remaining in each of the patients' bags?
  • Is one person's IV being used up at an abnormal rate?
  • Does anyone?s IV need to be replenished?

How it works:

The Remote IV-Monitoring System enables users to simultaneously check the IV levels of multiple patients with a user-friendly interface on a single computer.
