The exponentially increasing population puts a lot of strain on our medical sector as the ratio of doctors to patients becomes increasingly disproportionate. Generally, doctors and nurses use their experience in the field to estimate the time it takes for an IV bottle to empty, and this makes intravenous therapy vulnerable to human error. In order to overcome the error, this paper proposes a non-invasive, GSM and IR based system. The difference in reflection of infrared rays from a fluid filled and empty IV bottle is the basis of this detection system. When the fluid level falls below set threshold, an alert message is sent to the central nursing station with the help of a GSM module. Its output holds good for all IV bottles irrespective of its size as it is made adjustable. On the whole, this system reduces the risk of emboli formation in blood and reverse blood flow.
