Due to the negligence and inattentiveness about saline completion by doctors, nurses or caretaker of the patients and lack of nurses with sufficient skills in hospitals and also their over workload, a huge number of patients are dying and are being harmed in the hospitals. Hence to prevent the patient from getting harmed and also protect their lives during saline feeding period, the saline level monitoring system using IoT in hospitals have been developed. The proposed system comprises of LDR sensors which is used to sense LED lig ht and also act as a level sensor for monitoring the critical level of the saline in the saline bottle. Whenever the level of the saline reaches to the pre -defined critical level, then the nurses, caretaker, doctors will be alerted through the message to t he concerned nurses there is a need for replacement of the saline bottle. The advantage is there is no need of continuous monitoring by caretaker. This proposed system can be utilized efficiently in homes as well as hospitals. Keyword: saline Bottle,LDR sensor,LED light1. INTRODUCTION Due to increase in the population, there is a need for improvement in health care. Because of tremendous advancement in technology, the progress in medical field is rapid. A reason behind this is combination of medical and engineering disciplines. When the Normal Saline is to be placed intravenously then it is called as sterile . Normal saline is generally referred as sterile solution of sodium chloride in water. The sodium chloride sterile solution is used for nasal irritation, rinsing contact lenses, intravenous infusion and to clean a new piercing. Nowadays it is often, to use Normal Saline in intravenous drips (IVs), or the patients who are unable to take fluids orally and are in danger of causing dehydration or hypovolemia. Normal saline contains 9 grams of NaCl, and the osmotic coefficient of NaCl is 0.93. The amount of Normal Saline intake taken by patient is totally depends on physiological condition of patient but normally it is between 1.5 to 3 liters per day for an adult. Generally, in hospitals saline level is monitored by nurses and patients relatives . There is always a need of continuous monitoring saline level after certain time. In existing system ,saline level monitoring is very time consuming and inconvenient for doctors. The main objective of proposed system is to provide more reliable, convenient and effective system for saline level monitoring. The saline is injected into blood of the patient by considering certain parameters like heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pulse rate and body weight of patient. As the saline reaches below the critical level, it is necessary to replace the saline bottle. An automatic saline level monitoring consists of LDR sensors which are used to determine the status of liquid in the bottle whether it is normal or warning status. Due to the use of Bluetooth or GSM module, the notification can be sent to the nurse or caretaker mobile. 2.LITERATURE SURVEY 1. Mansi G. Chidgopkar , Aruna P. Phatale “Automatic And Low Cost Saline Level Monitoring System Using Wireless Bluetooth Module And Cc2500 Transreceiver ” International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology ; Volume:04 Issue: 09 |September -2015 Traditional methods used for health care are becoming obsolete due to increase in population. In Current health care system requires manual care takers and their heavy duties which is very time consuming job. Innovative health monitoring systems arerequired with less human intervention which will be availabl e at lowest price in rural as well as urban areas. Engineering technologies are tied up with medical field to solve this problem. Sophisticated health monitoring systems are getting developed with the help of electronic components such as sensors, PLC, mic rocontrollers etc. with easy interfacing. This paper main objective focuses on providing advanced saline level monitoring system. [1] 2.C.C.Gavimath, Krishnamurthy Bhat , C.chayalakshmi , R. S. Hooli and B.E.Ravishankera “Design And Development Of Versati le Saline Flow Rate Measuring System And Gsm Based Remote Monitoring Device ” International Journal of Pharmaceutical Applications Vol 3, Issue 1, 2012. As the world population grows, the need for health care increases. In recent years,main progress in med ical care has been rapid due to the advancements in the field of sensors, microcontrollers and computers. The main reason for this is the combination of the two important disciplines namely medicine and engineering. This paper describes the development of an automatic saline monitoring system using a low cost indigenous sly developed sensor and GSM (Global system for mobile communication) modem. This enables the doctor or nurse to monitor the saline flow rate continuously from a distance. The 8051 microco ntroller is used for providing coordination action. An IR sensor is used at the neck of the saline bottle to know the flow rate of the saline liquid. The detection of saline drop level is quite faithful. The output obtained from the sensor is processed to check whether the flow rate of saline is slow, medium or fast and the same is transmitted through GSM technology to a distant mobile cell for future actions.[2] 3. Pattarakam on Rangsee, Paweena Suebsombut, Phakphoom Boony anant “Low -Cost Saline Droplet Measurement System using for Common Patient oom in Rural Public Hospita l ” The 4th Joint International Conference o n Information and Communication Technology, Electr onic and Electrical Engineering (JI CTEE) 978 -1- 4799 -3855 -1/14 2014 The system can be used t o check saline droplet of patients in each patient’s b ed in rural public hospital. By installing the me asuring modules in all the patients beds, the saline system will show saline droplet status of each patient. So, caretaker can accurately check saline droplet status of thei r patients on a computer includi ng the saline droplet statuses, saline droplet rate (drops per min ute), and also remaining time. The saline droplet statusesconsists of four different statuses : Normal status (the system is working, the green light is shown on monitor), Warning s tatus (sensor at critical point cannot detect saline, the yellow light is d isplayed on monitor), Error status (droplet sensor ca nnot detect saline droplet, the red light is shown on monitor), and Change New Bag s tatus (the blue light is shown on monitor). So, nurses do not need to go to patient’s bed every time because they can c heck saline drop let status of each patient vi a this system. This system is a least pricing system and comforta ble for a nurses. Therefore , in rural public hospital can use this system in common patient’s room.[3] 4.P.Kalaivani, T.Thamaraiselvi, P.Sindhuja and G.Vegha “Saline Level Monitoring System Using Arduino UNO Processor ” Asian Journal of Applied Science and Technolog y (AJAST) Volume 1,March 2017 . The rapid gr owth of wireless technology and mobile services in this epoch is creating a great impact on our life style. In early stage some efforts have been taken to utilize these technologies in medical indu stry. In this field, ECG sensor based advanced system such as wireless patient monitoring system concept is a new innovative idea. The main aim of this system to provide health care to the patient. By sensing the patient’s ECG through 3 lead electrode sy stem via AD8232 which amplifies mi nor and small bio -signals to the arduino which processes them, along with saline level. Saline level is detected through IR sensors. The output of the electrical pulse is shown with the continuous monitor. The saline level is indicated by LCD. The output of ECG analog signal is displayed on serial plotter. The outputs are displayed through mobile application.[4] 3.PROPOSED SYSTEM The proposed system consists of LDR sensors and LED lights . LDR sensors which will act as a level sensor and light absorbing sensor for monitoring the critical level of the saline in the saline bottle. Whenever the level of the saline in saline bottle reaches to the pre -defined critical level, then the nurses, caretaker, doctors will be alerted through the buzzer and an alert me ssage will be sent through the use of internet to the concerned nurses and doctors that there is a need for replacement of the saline bottle. This proposed system can be utilized efficiently in homes as well as hospitals.

But the consequenc es are often fatal. Just after the completion of saline, blood rushes back to the saline bottle due to difference in blood pressure and pressure in the empty bottle. Thus, Innovative health monitoring systems have being developed with less human intervention which will be available at low cost in rural as well as urban areas. The proposed system aims at trouble -shooting the above mentioned problem effectively .By means of this the nurse can monitor the amount of saline even n the control room. An automatic saline level monitoring consists of Level sensors which are used to determine the status of liquid in the bottle whether it is normal or warning status. The detection of saline drop level is quite faithful. The result obtained from the sensor is processed to check whether the saline bottle is empty. When the level of saline dips below a certain level, the alarm sound will be produced. In our project the LDR sensor with respect to LED light can be used to measure the saline level. The conten t of saline in normal saline bottle is 100 ml. The saline bottle is replaced by another when the saline falls below 50ml. The critical level of saline is set to 50 ml so the nurse ca change the saline bag when the liquid reaches to critical point . Fig 3:working module of saline level monitoring system5.CONCLUSION In this proposes system which can automatically monitor the saline flow rate in saline bottle by using microcontroller. It can wirelessly send the data to nurses or doctors computer and display the results in the form of saline level rate, number of drople ts from saline bottle, liquid solution feeding to the patient is in ml and remaining time is to empty the saline bottle . The system is more reliable and cost effective .it is more convenient for nurses. It can be reused for the next saline bottle and it a lso beneficial for nurses as well as doctors at rural hospitals. Nurses can easily monitor the saline level from far away distance. It is more avantageous at night timing and there is no need for nurses to go to patient’s bed for continuous checking the le vel of saline in the bottle. 6.REFERENCES [1] P.Kalaivani, T.Thamaraiselvi, G.Vegha and P.Sindhuja “Saline Level Monitoring System Using Arduino UNO Processor ” Asian Journal of Applied Science and Technology (AJAST) Volume 1,March 2017 .
