3-1: Summary of the need to implement the plan:

Drug treatment in children under 5 years of age is mostly in the form of liquid, syrup and drops. Due to the young age of these children, it is very important to be careful about the amount and dosage of these drugs. In the methods used to do this, there are problems that are as follows:
A) Lack of attention of children: Due to the young age of children and the unattractiveness of spoons and droppers for them psychologically, when playing food or medicine, they play games or refuse to eat it. Forcing children to take medication and using a spoon or dropper as an invasive treatment has negative psychological effects. These cases make it difficult and tedious to give medicine to children and in some cases have a bad psychological effect on the child.
B) Risk of aspiration: Pulmonary aspiration is a technical term for cases in which an object or liquid accidentally enters the trachea or lungs by inhalation. Because children may be frightened by the shape of a dropper or spoon and pull their head back, or child caregivers may try to force liquid medicine into their mouths; The drug may enter the airway instead of the mouth, causing pulmonary aspiration, which can lead to coughing, breathing problems, discomfort, and sometimes suffocation.
C) Inaccurate measurement: In the age group of children, the amount of drugs is usually measured based on their weight, and any deviation from the required amount of medication causes the patient to receive adequate and adequate treatment, even in cases of acute illness and Systemic, it can have irreversible consequences and even death. Misdiagnosis of the drug can lead to failure to treat the disease, prolongation of the treatment process, more hospitalization, higher costs, and increased microbial resistance to the drug, but most of the available methods for giving the drug to children are not accurate enough. And causes the said problems.

The main application of this product is to prescribe liquid oral medications with an accuracy of 0.1 cc to children, which can be used in health centers, hospitals and families. By using this device at the macro and national level to avoid wasting time and money to perform the treatment process and prescribe and provide medicine to patients, including children or patients who need to use a certain amount of medicine accurately, use .
The use of this electromechanical equipment to measure the amount of medication can significantly improve the condition of patients and increase the quality of treatment. This high-precision electromechanical equipment can be effective in measuring the amount of drug consumed.
Due to the use of electronic boards along with mechanical mechanisms and also high accuracy in measuring liquid drugs, this design has a high level of technology.
