AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Incorrect dosing and administration rates during intravenous medication administration are common errors that can impact patient safety and recovery.
Method used
A system that uses a processor to obtain images of a syringe with a fiducial marker, determining the initial volume and tracking the real-time volume of fluid dispensed or remaining by analyzing the images and applying morphological operations.
Benefits of technology
The system effectively tracks the volume of fluid in real-time, reducing the risk of dosing errors and ensuring accurate administration rates.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for tracking real-time syringe volume may: obtain a plurality of images of a syringe including a fiducial marker, the fiducial marker encapsulating syringe data associated with the syringe; determine, based on the fiducial marker in at least one image, an initial volume associated with the syringe; for each image of the syringe of the plurality of images of the syringe: determine, based on the fiducial marker in that image, a region of interest in that image; and subtract, from the region of interest in that image, the region of interest of a previous image of the plurality of images to generate a subtracted image; determine, based on the subtracted image generated from a current image, a volume of a fluid dispensed from and / or remaining in the syringe; and provide the volume of the fluid dispensed from and / or remaining in the syringe.
