IoT Integrated Infant Cradle for Jaundice care

Abstract

Neonate and infant care are subject to continuous monitoring so as to assure the wellbeing and safety of neonates, especially of neonates from a disease such as neonatal jaundice and to avoid environmental risk factors which could lead to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). They include, the automation of baby monitoring modules and automatic newborn monitoring, along with a supportive care system and air quality management for babies. The cradle itself includes cry detection sensor, wetness sensor, and camera module to monitor infant activity, it is also equipped with a swing mechanism to soothe the baby. Integrated blue LED phototherapy unit to help treat mild neonatal jaundice. An air purification module based on HEPA filters is also included in the package to limit the impact of harmful airborne pathogens, allergens, and particulate matter. Low indoor pollutant environment is another aspect key to lowering the risk factors for SIDS. Through a mobile app, IoT platform real-time continuous data is transmitted to them. This makes remote management possible. The proposed system is intended to relieve caregiver workload and improve infant safety, while offering an effective, integrated neonatal care solution. It meets all the criteria for home-based phototherapy as well as hospital- or reduced-resource solutions in different environments.
