Project Summary

Our aim is to design and develop a infant simulator that is a durable alternative to infants. That can produce vital parameters like temperature,heart and breathing rate. Our project goal is to make a such device that can be used to test certain devices that are made for infants like sleep apnea monitor for the safety of infants and also checking of those devices. We also aim to cover couple of sustainable developmental goals.

Project Objectives

To indigenously manufacture an Infant simulator to deal with the devices that are made for the infants(premature/new born). The aim is to create a device that helps in R&D. Also for the cross checking of sensors and their calibration.

Project Implementation Method

We started our project with the collection of literature related to the existing works related to infants and reviewed them to find any research gap. We then planned the prototype design of our project dividing them into three parts, hardware assembly, sensory interface and a software based control mechanism. Firstly, the hardware assembly involves the chassis, hardware mechanism, vibration motor, motors+their modules, heating element, after that sensors that are used; pezo-electric sensor,  temperature sensor, Lastly, we will develop a code in Arduino Ide for the operation and control mechanism of our infant simulator. After the implementation we will be testing our prototype to analyze the temperature range that we set, heart/pulse rate and the breathing rate.

Benefits of the Project

A safe way for testing your device for infants rather than testing directly on to infants.

Portable, easy to use.

Multiple user bearing capacity at a one time(means can test one or more device at a time.

Low maintenance required.

Can change the parameters on user will.

Will facilitate R&D and institutes for researches and testation.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Documentation of our prototype design will comprises, the technical details about the circuit design, control system, CAD design, Arduino Code, list of components with brief description of the process, its corresponding price in the local currency and quantity needed to be purchased, along with the miscellaneous tools and materials. Furthermore, a project report along with three copies of our thesis will also be submitted.
