A Real Time Infant Health Monitoring System for Hard of Hearing Parents by using Android-based Mobil Devices

Abstract

An infant monitoring system basically includes sensors and a microcontroller. A sensor device which is capable of sensing several vital physiological data (ECG, body temperature, SpO2, blood pressure, etc.) from human bodies and sending them to the microcontroller using analog or digital outputs. In this study, a real-time infant monitoring system by using android-based mobile devices especially for hard of hearing parents is developed and implemented. An Arduino Leonardo board has been used in system design which is attached to body temperature sensor, sound detection sensor, finger heartbeat detector, and humidity sensor. In order to alarm conditions notify to hard of hearing parents, an android-based application has been developed. The results show that it is observed the data collected from the sensors are monitored real-time and that the alarms determined when abnormal conditions occurred were noticed successfully.
