Neonatal Incubator Monitoring System - Idea #1

Neonatal Incubator Monitoring System - Idea #1

Hello everyone, First, Happy to be a part of the At The Core Design Challenge. I would like to give an insight into what we will be testing and how it would make an impact in the day to day life. 

Why do we need this? 

Failure of an incubator is fatal. Recently many premature babies have lost their lives due to a lack of proper monitoring of the incubator which leads to accidents. The lack of an alarm system was identified as the main reason for the fatalities, leaving the infants unable to even open their eyes. The proposed smart incubator system aims to prevent such tragedies from occurring by incorporating a baby monitoring system with an alarm to alert medical staff of any potential abnormality.

What are we making? 

The biological parameters are monitored to ensure the safety of the babies and to prevent death rates. Monitoring the vital signs continuously of premature infants in the hospital requires sensors and electrodes which are said to be kept in contact with the patient and can be displayed on the monitor. Nay abnormality in the parameter will be indicated by the alarm system. The sensors consist of a pulse oximeter which measures the oxygen saturation level and pulse rate of the infant, a humidity sensor used to measure the relative humidity inside the incubator and temperature sensors for the temperature measurement of both the infant and the incubator. All these parameters will be used for monitoring the baby.

    This project can become a life saver also for babies at home. Many times it happens that they die because of the pillow that doesn't let them to breath. Good idea indeed!

    Hi @cargocultscientist, the NodeMCU WiFi is used to store the data in the Ubidots dashboard which can create notifications to the medical staff. In addition, the collected data will be used for predictive analytics where any abnormality in the sensors data will be determined.

    Hello and welcome to the At The Core Design Challenge! I'm thrilled to see your innovative approach to addressing a critical issue in neonatal care. The smart incubator system you're developing has the potential to save lives and significantly improve the quality of care for premature infants.

    One suggestion I have to enhance your project is to integrate remote monitoring capabilities using IoT technology. By connecting the smart incubator system to a centralized monitoring platform, medical staff can access real-time data, receive instant notifications, and monitor multiple incubators simultaneously. This would not only increase the efficiency of healthcare professionals but also enable them to take immediate action in case of any abnormalities detected by the sensors.

    Moreover, by analyzing the collected data over time, you could identify patterns and trends that could lead to predictive analytics and early intervention, further improving the overall care for premature infants.

    I'm looking forward to following your project's progress and seeing its positive impact on neonatal care. Keep up the excellent work, and best of luck with the upcoming stages of your project!
