Wireless Water Quality Monitoring System

A wireless water quality monitoring system utilizing a patient interface module (PIM) powered with a wireless charging system to measure and transmit water quality parameters to a remote monitoring station.

The original patent, focused on intraluminal imaging, has limitations in terms of power supply and communication. The present inventive concept addresses the need for a reliable, wireless, and efficient system for monitoring water quality, a critical aspect of public health and environmental sustainability.

The inventive concept comprises a wireless-powered water quality sensor module, configured to measure water quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, and bacterial contamination. The module transmits the data to a remote monitoring station using a patient interface module (PIM) powered with a wireless charging system. The PIM, originally designed for intraluminal imaging, is repurposed to enable wireless communication between the sensing device and the processing system. This allows for real-time monitoring and analysis of water quality data, enabling prompt detection of contamination and optimization of water treatment processes.

The novelty of the inventive concept lies in the application of the wireless-powered PIM technology to the field of water quality monitoring, providing a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution. The inventive step is the repurposing of the PIM to enable wireless communication between the sensing device and the processing system, addressing the limitations of traditional wired systems.

Alternative embodiments may include using different types of sensing devices, such as optical or electrochemical sensors, or integrating the system with existing water treatment infrastructure. Variations may include using different wireless communication protocols or power sources, such as solar or battery-powered systems.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the water quality monitoring market, which is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. The system can be applied in various industries, including municipal water treatment, industrial process control, and environmental monitoring, offering a reliable and efficient solution for ensuring public health and environmental sustainability.
