Problem
In many Indian hospitals, nurses must manually monitor and adjust intravenous (IV) therapy for a large number of patients, leading to frequent infusion errors and related complications. The shortage of nursing staff exacerbates the risk of missed or incorrect drip rates, impacting patient safety.
Solution
DripStop provides an automated, battery‑powered device that continuously monitors IV flow and allows nurses to set and adjust drip rates remotely via a smartphone or a nursing station. The system sends real‑time alerts and visual dashboards, enabling prompt intervention without the need for constant bedside checks. Its ultra‑compact design makes it easy to attach to existing IV setups, and the device operates independently of mains power, supporting portability across wards. By delivering infusion control at a fraction of the cost of conventional infusion pumps, DripStop aims to reduce medication errors and improve patient outcomes in resource‑constrained hospitals.
