DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF URO-DISLYSER WITH BIODEGRADABLE BAGS USING IoT TECHNIQUE FOR ICU PATIENTS

Abstract

Urine Drainage Bag (UDB) has been frequently acknowledged by patients who are suffering from urine incontinence, urinary retention, urinary tract infections, and urological surgeries in which a patient is impotent to out-migration. In ICUs, physiological parameters of a patient are measured by monitoring devices. These devices can also supervise whether the values of the parameters lie within a pre-established range set by the clinician. Just like the basic parameters of the patient monitor, urine output is another parameter which has to be sensed and supervised frequently by the healthcare staff. The automation is done digitally by the monitoring device, “Uro-Dislyser”. Along with the designed low-cost device named Uro-Dislyser, which is capable of sensing and supervising urine output, regular plastic urine bag is replaced by biodegradable bag. This biodegradable bag is designed in a way that can serve the purpose of better hygiene and mental health, and can be used as a fertilizer in agriculture field. The Internet of Things (IoT) is programmed along with the load cell and the alarm rings to indicate the level of urine in UDBs.
