An intravenous (IV) fluid monitoring system includes a sensing element, a user locator device, a location server, and an analytics server. The sensing element senses weight of an IV bag and transmits weight data and a first ID signal corresponding to the IV bag. The user locator device transmits a second ID signal corresponding to a user. The location server stores and periodically updates sets of ID data and locations of a set of users and a plurality of IV bags. The analytics server stores and periodically updates a set of weight data of the plurality of IV bags. The analytics server implements a machine learning algorithm to determine a threshold weight and a threshold rate of flow of the IV fluid in the IV bag and transmits a notification signal to a user who is nearest to the IV bag that needs attention.
