Abstract

The purpose of the project is to develop an Intelligent Neonatal Monitoring System based on Multi-Sensors.In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU),there are premature babies and other ill babies who need extra care from the doctors,nurses as well as medical supplies.World Health Organization (WHO) defines neonate as a newborn baby who is 28 days of age.At this critical age,they have a high possibility of death due to complication.Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is an incident exists among infants below the age of one year.In order to avoid this episode occurred, neonates need to be continuously monitored by the doctors and nurses.Therefore,an intelligent neonatal monitoring system should be a good solution in order to help them to observe neonates frequently.This system transmits the physiological parameters of the neonate such as body temperature and heart rate to the Internet of Things (IoT) called ThingSpeak.The body temperature and the heart rate will be detected by LM35 temperature sensor and pulse sensor respectively.The physiological parameters are sent to the IoT via ESP8266 Wi-Fi Shield. IoT helps the doctors and nurses to be connected with the neonate’s data and it is helpful in monitoring the neonates at any time through the internet.It also will give the real-time physiological condition of the neonates by monitoring the parameters along with the values with the time and date.The buzzer will go beep if the measured body temperature or heart rate is not within the normal range.The percentage difference between LM35 temperature sensor and digital thermometer is less than 3% while the heart rate can be vary according to the physical activity.This develops system will definitely providing efficiency and reliability which will play a vital role for better care.
