Abstract: Disclosed is a smart intravenous cannula system (100) for early detection of infection at an intravenous cannula insertion site. The system (100) includes an intravenous cannula (102) configured to provide intravenous access, a sensor chip (104) comprising one or more miniaturized biosensors, an LED indicator (106), and a micro- electronic circuit (108). The sensor chip (104) continuously or periodically monitors infection-related physiological or biochemical parameters comprising temperature variation, pH variation, or biochemical markers, and generates an electrical signal corresponding to a detected condition. The micro-electronic circuit (108) receives and processes the electrical signal to determine whether the monitored parameter indicates an abnormal condition associated with a possible infection. Upon determining the abnormal condition, the micro-electronic circuit (108) generates an output signal for activating the LED indicator (106). The integrated arrangement provides real-time monitoring and immediate visual alerting while maintaining the primary intravenous access functionality of the intravenous cannula (102) during use. Fig. 1 is the reference figure.
