Research

goals

To verify the need for an IV drip monitoring system and identify key challenges in IV therapy management.

Research

Methods

Primary research included hospital visits, focus group discussions with nurses, interviews with doctors, and surveys with patients and attendants. Secondary research involved analyzing medical studies, industry reports, and existing IV monitoring technologies to validate findings and refine the product concept.

Survey Insights

87%

of nurses reported relying on patient attendants for drip status updates due to high workload.

72%

of healthcare professionals acknowledged missing IV change timing at least once during a shift.

81%

of attendants expressed anxiety about having to constantly monitor IV bottles.

76%

of doctors supported real-time alert systems to prevent IV-related complications.

69%

of patients said they would feel more secure with a visible drip status indicator.

92%

of surveyed professionals agreed that a compact, automated IV monitoring device would improve workflow efficiency and patient safety.

I kept asking the nurse — ‘खाली हो गया क्या?’ (is it empty) A monitor would be so helpful.

(patient)

If it can বুলি দেই (call over) when it's over, that's all we need.

Bimola

(nurse)

A timely বিপ (alert) when the drip ends can save both time and ভুল (mistake).

Weight Study

The process involved obtaining the weight of both filled and empty IV drip bottles. Subsequently, a percentage relationship was established by analyzing the weight change in the bottle.

Working

Utilizing advanced weight sensors, the IV Drip Monitor continuously tracks fluid levels within IV bags. As the fluid diminishes, these sensors detect the corresponding decrease in weight, triggering in weight, triggering immediate real-time alerts. This proactive approach ensures healthcare provides can promptly respond, facilitating timely IV changes and significantly enhancing patient safety.
