Abstract: Traditional methods used for health care are becoming obsolete due to increase in population. Current health care system requires manual care takers and their heavy duties which is very time consuming job. Innovative health monitoring systems are required with less human intervention which will be available at low cost in rural as well as urban areas. Engineering technologies are getting coupled with medical field to solve this problem. Sophisticatedhealth monitoring systems are getting developed with the help of electronic components such as sensors, PLC,microcontrollers etc. with easy interfacing.This paper mainly focuses on providing advanced saline level monitoring system. The idea is to provide cost effective, reliable and automatic saline flow monitoring system which can be easily implemented in any hospital and can be easy for doctors as well as nurses to monitor the saline flow from a distance. The proposed system eliminates continuous on sight monitoring of patient by nurses or doctors. Due to the use of microcontroller ATMEGA 328, wireless module CC2500, Bluetooth module and IR sensors, the system can be made available at very low cost. Thesame circuit can be reused for another saline bottle giving only one time investment.
