These are set of new intelligent (Smart) appliances to be introduced in the medical health care domains and consumer durables sector. This concept is a unique one in the medical health care sector, supplies and distribution industry and Consumer Electronics appliances segments. This is a durable product.
Background of invention with regard to the drawback associated with known art:-
• Currently there is no real-time automated monitoring mechanism available in the hospitals, clinics or patient's homes to remotely view and monitor IV fluid supplies to the patients and also to show its usage patterns. Similarly there is no real time automated monitoring mechanism available in the hospitals, clinics and patient's homes to remotely view and monitor Oxygen administrations / supply to the patients. With this invention, these fluids and Oxygen supplies to the patients and its usages in the hospitals can be made viewable real time from the internet, hospital information computer systems and also from mobile phones and tabs by using secured web applications.
Daily usage and usage pattern of these fluids and oxygen are currently not monitored and reported in an effective and accurate way in to the hospital information systems.
In most of the hospitals, when there is IV fluids supplied to the patients, normally patient's relatives or care takers need to go to the nursing station frequently and inform the duty nurse that, the fluid level in the IV bag is getting low and needs to be re-filled or to be stopped or removed. Ward nurses need to physically go to the patient's bed frequently to see and understand the level of IV fluid remaining in the IV bags and adjust the same accordingly. A lot of time, labor, money is spent additionally on this process.
By understanding of facts and circumstances that surround above mentioned situations at hospitals, clinics and also homes, an idea lead to the invention of intelligent (smart) IV appliance and of intelligent (smart) Oxygen stand appliance got evolved.
• In the hospitals, clinics and patient homes currently there is no real time automated monitoring mechanism available to find the availability and non availability of patients in their beds. Also there is no mechanism currently available to understand, capture and report patient's sleeplessness and restless movements when they are in their beds.
By understanding of facts and circumstances that surround above mentioned situations at hospitals, clinics and also homes, an idea lead to the invention of intelligent (smart) patient's Cot.
With this invention of these smart technologies applied to the IV stands, Oxygen stands and patient Cots, we will be able to automate and enhance the patient care to a greater extend. This is a unique, one of its kind and affordable product solution to all the hospitals, clinics and also homes, where doctors, nurses, home nurses and patient's relatives get to remotely monitor the real time fluid supplies, Oxygen supplies and also with the intelligent patient's Cot, they can monitor patient's availability / unavailability, movements, restlessness etc. which will help doctors in their diagnosis as well in a greater extent.
bject of invention
• To provide timely update to the doctors, nurses and patient's relatives about the real time level and percentage of IV fluids administered to the patients and also to alert them to replace or remove the IV bags from the IV stand on time.
• To provide timely update to the doctors, nurses and patient's relatives about the real time level and percentage of Oxygen administered / supplied to the patients and also to alert them with the reducing level of Oxygen in the cylinders on time.
• This technology of Oxygen cylinder stand can be extended to cooking gas stands at home,
hotels, eateries, hospitals kitchens etc. as well to monitor the real time usage and manage reordering appropriately.
• This invention will provide doctors, nurses and patient's relatives to get access to their patient's Intravenous bags, Oxygen cylinders and patient's cot at the hospital or home from anywhere in the web or from their Cell phone or computer applications, to monitor and view them virtually. Software application provides virtual screen of real time status of the fluids administered, quantity of the IV fluids in the IV bags and also Oxygen cylinder on the stand. Also this software displays, reports and allows tracking the movements, restlessness, availability and unavailability of the patients in their cot.
These features of automated tracking, alerting and reporting from the software applications will achieve effective monitoring and tracking of the usage of IV fluids and Oxygen administrated to the patients and also hospital supervisors / management will be able to map the history data of the fluids and Oxygen administered with the daily usage parameters.
These appliances will timely send SMS / email alerts, reports which will enable hospital / clinic admin authorities to purchase / refill the required items on time and also it enable users to buy the actual quantity of the items required. Software on these appliance systems can be integrated to the hospital stores computer applications as well.

This innovation covers the following domains and has potential to provide employment to a greater extend:-
Instrumentation and Electronics domains:-
Key devices / components involved are wireless / wired load Sensors and controller board with Wi-Fi and Ethernet modules. Wireless / wired load / pressure Sensors measure the weight of the items placed on the appliances and it communicates series of data to the controller board. Mother board of the controller card has an algorithm to convert the load information to digital signals and further process and send the data internally to the internal database. Web applications will fetch the data from the internal databases and allow users to view, track virtually from computers, cell phones and tabs.
These domains will provide employment opportunities for Technicians, Electronic engineers and IT engineers to a wide extend.
Network, IT infrastructure, Application and Database domains:-
Control board from Cabinets encrypts the data and communicates to the internet through Wide area network. Appropriate routing, configuration to be performed to & fro communication between control board and internet. This will have required applications, tools, web components, Databases installed and configured to further process the data received from the sensors. These domains will employ engineers, system admins, system analysts, application developers, database administrators, team leads and managers.
R&D:-
Provides an R&D scope for, the product enhancements, to carry out research on applying this appliance in various other consumable durable and other segments / domains and also to carry out research and further invent new products and services and enhancements to be provided in the market. This domain provides employment opportunities for R&D engineers, team leads and managers.
Other areas covered:-
