Abstract— During last few decades, the population of the world has been increasing exponentially. This in turn increases the
need for health care experts. But the ratio of number of health care experts to that of the number of people needing the expertise
is unsatisfactory, especially in developing countries. This necessitates the use of remote health monitoring devices. This paper
describes the development of saline flow rate monitor using flow rate sensor, microcontroller as coordinator and RF ZigBee
module to transmit and receive the signal. Saline is often given to patients to rehydrate and fulfill the water and salt needs which
depends on the patient. Hence it is necessary to keep the saline flow rate in check. The mentioned system enables the doctor or
the nurse to monitor the flow rate of saline remotely.
