摘要

The paper describes the development of a portable, patient-mounted infusion pump prototype aimed at increasing patient mobility during long-term intravenous treatments. The design allows patients to move freely while receiving IV (IntraVenous) medication, addressing the limitations of traditional stationary infusion pumps. It also opens the possibility of at-home treatment by enabling long-distance configuration and disallowing patient control access. The project utilized 3D modeling software and printing technology to create a functional prototype, featuring a stepper motor-driven peristaltic pump, a wireless control interface, and a wearable textile support system. The infusion pump is configured through a web-based interface, enabling users to adjust infusion parameters such as volume and duration. The project successfully established the foundation for a practical wearable infusion device, with potential for future refinement and application in medical settings.
