Design Fabrication of IoT-Enabled Infusion Syringe Pump and Biosensing System for Telemedicine and Healthcare

Abstract

The advancement of medical technology has led to the development of innovative devices aimed at enhancing patient care and monitoring. This project focuses on the design and fabrication of an IoT-enabled infusion syringe pump integrated with a biosensing system for telemedicine applications. The system combines Arduino-based technology, a ball screw linear guide for precise medication delivery, and an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module for wireless communication. The pump ensures accurate medication infusion while simultaneously monitoring patient vitals, such as heart rate, in real time. Data is transmitted to a cloud server, enabling healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients and intervene promptly when necessary. The prototype demonstrated an accuracy of ±0.1 mL in medication delivery and achieved seamless data transmission with a latency of less than 2 seconds. The ball screw linear guide’s efficiency and minimal friction further enhanced the system’s reliability, ensuring consistent and precise operation. This device addresses the challenges of providing quality healthcare in remote or underserved areas by enabling remote monitoring and reducing the need for constant bedside attendance. While the current design focuses on heart rate monitoring, future iterations could incorporate additional biosensors to measure other vital parameters such as blood pressure and oxygen saturation. The system’s user-friendly interface ensures easy operation by caregivers with minimal training. By integrating IoT with biosensing technology, this project bridges the gap between modern healthcare and telemedicine, contributing to more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered care.
