Abstract: A system for monitoring an intravenous (IV) access site for catheter insertion into a patient's skin. The system may include one or more of a dressing layer configured to cover at least a portion of the IV access site, a cuff configured to be disposed at least partially around the dressing layer, and a camera positioned external to the IV access site. At least one of the dressing layer and the cuff may include at least one embedded component configured for use in detecting one or more of swelling of the IV access site, temperature changes at the IV access site, fluid infiltration/extravasation from the catheter, fluid detection on top of the patient's skin at a skin piercing location, catheter dislodgement, color changes of the patient's skin at the IV access site, presence of microbes at the IV access site, and degradation of the dressing layer.
