Abstract : As the world’s population is increasing, the need for health prevention is also increasing day by day.. The major and fundamental requirement of hospitalized patients is that every patient should be provided with better treatment and observation and should be supplied with the correct amount of vital nutrition at the correct time. Among the various treatments, saline therapy is the most important treatment that many patients receive from hospitals. The bottle of saline is fed to the patients to treat dehydration and thus improve their health. In hospitals, whenever saline is fed to patients, the patient needs to be continuously administered by a nurse or a caretaker. But unfortunately, some critical situations occur and due to the negligence towards the saline completion and busy schedules of the responsible doctors, nurses, or caretakers, a huge number of patients are being harmed. Hence, to prevent the patient’s health and to provide maximum health safety invented a system called saline level monitoring system. In this system, an IOT-based automatic indicating device where a load sensor is used as a level sensor. The sensor’s output voltage level changes when the intravenous fluid level is below a certain limit. When the saline drops down to a certain low level then an alert is sent to the nurses that the saline fed to the patient is over with all the details of the patient. The difference in weight is used to sense the amount of saline present in the bottle and hence is used to send a notification to the attendant or the nurse’s room through GSM or the buzzer will be alarmed by far when its in the worst condition of liquid level in below average level.
