The problem LiquIVics solves

The flow in IV (intravenous) bottle is generally regulated manually. This requires a person to manually monitor the fluid level which is a tedious task and is even more difficult at night. Any delay in stopping the flow at the right time will cause backflow of blood and air bubbles entering the patient’s bloodstream. Hence, there is a need for a smart IV monitoring system. Such a device will ease the daily execution of this task in hospitals with utmost precision. Hence, decreasing the chances of health hazards in patients.

Challenges we ran into

When there were only a few hours left for the completion of the hackathon, our servomotor suddenly stopped working. We spent a lot of time in fixing this as servomotor is one of the most important elements of our project. Then we noticed a very important thing that we were missing. Our prototype wasn't very stable as the wires to the servomotor were loosely connected. After realising this, we immediately made the prototype stable by using tapes and then after some minor but important adjustments, we made the motor running normally again.
