Abstract: Accurate medication delivery is essential in intensive care units, where precision in drug delivery is crucial. In order to address the need for increased accuracy and efficiency in workflow, this study proposes a semi-automated smart syringe infusion device with a unique refill mode integrated with Electronic Health Records (EHR). The device was tested in both manual and virtual control modes, with a stepper motor-driven syringe used for precise fluid infusion. The refill mode was evaluated based on its ability to automate the refilling procedure. The results showed precise dosage control in a variety of scenarios, with minimal discrepancies between the desired and actual amounts. The refill mode effectively automated the withdrawal and refilling processes, lowering human error and increasing efficiency. Additionally, the device's effortless interface with EHR systems streamlined the documentation process, enabling real-time data logging and enhancing workflow. This device offers a dependable, cost-effective solution for improving medication delivery, making it a valuable tool in healthcare, particularly in resource-limited environments.
