Keywords:
Smart Paddlewheel, Aerator, Hydrotherapy, BOD, WastewaterAbstract
Multidisciplinary innovations, particularly those originating from engineering and environmental sciences, are perpetually advantageous to the medical field. One such innovation is the smart paddlewheel aerator, which was initially developed for wastewater treatment and aquaculture. The present research examine its possible relevance and adaptation in a range of medical settings, with a focus on biomedical engineering, therapeutic hydrotherapy, and hospital wastewater treatment. The study glances at how paddlewheel aerators operate, and how their functionality can be strategically enhanced with automation and the Internet of Things, and what possible medical applications there might be for efficient and regulated oxygen transfer. In addition to recommended fixes and potential avenues for further research, technical issues such as biocompatibility, sterilization, and regulatory concerns are covered. The purpose of this multidisciplinary investigation is to determine whether smart paddlewheel aerators can be used in the healthcare industry as cost-effective, feasible, and sustainable technologies.
