Researchers have developed an integrated drug infusion pump with flow and bubble sensor modules to prevent medical accidents related to analgesic drug infusion in hospitals. These sensor modules can detect extremely low flow rates and bubbles, therefore helping to prevent overdoses. This technology is currently being developed for mass production and it is expected to provide accurate information on the medication speed and dosage, reducing the workload of medical staff and increasing patient safety. The research team aims to prevent medical accidents and ensure the safety of medical treatments and public health. This technology is published in Sensors and Actuators A: Physical.
