Abstract :
In a society, public health plays an important role in human life. There is no human being who is ideally healthy. Every family will have some ill health, sickness and a need exists for medication. In a locality a hospital is an essential establishment for the caretaking of the health of the people around. Every human being may have certain level of toxicity causing disturbance in normal function. The hospital must have a well drawn out procedure for maintenance of equipments serving as a reference for doctors, clinical laboratories and nurses with expertise and appropriate diagnosis and treatment procedures. There could be varieties of diseases in so many inpatients and outpatients that need attention. For any patient depending upon the disease by virtue of the symptoms, clinical test reports and history of the patient, a doctor with his knowledge base is to make a decision and prepare a diagnosis. Based on the diagnosis the treatment procedures are implemented by the nurses. This process is a much generalized methodology for any location wherever treatment is necessary for the patients. It is also observed that there is always a shortage of medical practitioners and expertise required for many diseases. Drug dosing is a technique that is done to cure the diseases through proper prescription and control of drugs that have been identified to the corresponding disease based on diagnosis. Drug dosing is a very critical and challenging step that needs to be correctly monitored and prescribed by the doctor. Drug dosing in human beings also depends upon size, area, weight and volume of the recipient. There are various ways of drug dosing, targeted therapies are the current state of the art and are probably the best predictor in terms of perceiving the dosing. Nanobio systems are used for targeted therapies. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended the use of nanobio systems for targeted therapy and drug dosing but they do not have many models. In reality very - ew exist. With limitations in availability of common platforms for development and validation of automated systems there is a need for a new methodology or integration of multiple platforms to integrate biosensors, expert system and drug diffusion unit. The Automatic drug delivery system is based on bio sensors which functions like a human. However the bio sensors are not under the purview of this project. To create a real time model, the sensors were simulated. Employing Servo motors connected to a voltage divider network simulated sensors. Eight voltage dividers were employed wherein, in each of the dividers; a fixed resistor & a potentiometer were used. The servo motor moves the wiper of pot and thus varies the voltage output on the ADC channel.
