Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is about to make computerized smart systems that deliver drugs to hospital patients intravenously that much safer. Smart IV systems can deliver precise volumes at a precise rate, but they lack a critical ingredient to ensuring that the patient is not inadvertently harmed: they cannot know what concentration of drug has been added to the system nor can then confirm that it is even the correct drug being delivered.
