Intelligent Neonatal Monitoring System Based on Android Application using Multi Sensors

Abstract

The purpose of the project is to develop an Intelligent Neonatal Monitoring System based on temperature and pulse rate data. 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. Therefore, an intelligent neonatal monitoring system should be a good solution in order to help them to observe neonates frequently and consistently. This system transmits the vital signs of the neonate such as body temperature and pulse rate to the Internet of Things (IoT) called ThingSpeak. The body temperature and the pulse rate will be detected by LM35 temperature sensor and pulse sensor respectively. These information will be sent to the IoT via ESP8266 Wi-Fi Shield. IoT helps the doctors and nurses to be connected with the neonate’s vital signs and it is helpful in monitoring the neonates at anytime and anywhere through the internet. The percentage difference between LM35 temperature sensor and digital thermometer is less than 3% while the pulse rate can be varied according to the physical activity. This develops system will providing efficiency and reliability which will play a vital role for better care.
