Real-Time Gas Leak Detection and Prevention System Using Pressure Sensors and IoT-Connected Devices for Hospital Safety

Abstract

For safe hospitals, there must be gas leak protection to shield patients and maintain uninterrupted treatment. This project is a suggestion for an automated system to identify pressure drops and activate precautionary safety protocols in real time. The system uses pressure sensors, Arduino Uno, buzzers, and solenoid valves to check for a leak of gas and respond immediately. Upon detection of leakage, the system activates the alarm, sends warning, and automatically closes gas valves to prevent continuing leakage and potential dangers. Monitoring and automated feedback minimize the need to constantly monitor manually, enabling health environment operational effectiveness and safety. Proper sensing is made possible through sensors and real-time safety is achieved by solenoid valves.

mechanism to prevent leaks. It is an economic and scalable solution that can be applied to various medical gas distribution systems. Compared to traditional leak detection methods, the system here has faster response times, improved reliability, and enhanced safety. Future developments will be centered on improving sensor precision, wireless notification support, and increasing its flexibility to various hospital facilities. Through prevention of leaks of gas initially, this system minimizes patient risks, optimizes gas utilization, and increases hospital operating efficiency, which renders it a valuable solution for medical institutions.
