We generated an IV fluid-specific dataset to maximize the accuracy of the measurement. We developed our system as a smartphone application, utilizing the internal camera for the nurses or patients. Thus, users should be able to capture the surface of the fluid in the container by adjusting the smartphone's position or angle to reveal the front view of the container. Thus, we collected the front view of the IV fluid containers when generating the training dataset.
We introduce a high-performance computer vision based Intraveneous (IV) infusion speed measurement system as a camera application on an iPhone or Android phone. Our system uses You Only Look Once version 5 (YOLOv5) as it was designed for real-time object detection, making it substantially faster than two-stage algorithms such as R-CNN. In addition, YOLOv5 offers greater precision than its predecessors, making it more competitive with other object detection methods.
