Project Summary

The neonatal incubator is an apparatus that provides a closed and controlled environmentfor the sustenance of temperature babies. But recently, many premature babies have lost their lives due to lack of proper monitoring of the incubator that leads to accidents (leakage of gas and overheating causing short circuits and eventually, the bursting of incubators).This project deals with the cost-effective design of an embedded device that monitors certain parameters such as pulse rate of the baby, temperature and humidity. If any variations occurs in the corresponding parameters (pulse, temperature and humidity), than the parameters will control by using lights and fans inside the incubator. And the readings will continuously monitoring in LCD and sends the details to the corresponding doctor or nurse and the baby will monitors continuously via mobile application.The parents, doctors or nurse will monitor the baby from anywhere by using IOT. By continuously monitoring and controlling the parameters we will provide efficient and safe working of an incubator.

Project Objectives

To design a safe, user friendly and multifunctional incubator through which the housing is easily accessible. Despite the fact that there are a lot of sensors, alarms, and other features associated with this incubator, it will be relatively self sufficient. The control system will enable the temperature to reach steady state, at the desired temperature with minimal error, and maintain a temperature until it is manually changed, or one of the sensors detects that it needs to be changed. A desired humidity will be maintained and IOT will be involved through which the feedback of all parameters will be monitored on mobile application.

Project Implementation Method

Literature Survey:
In the beginning of the project we did literature review first in depth.In order to comprehend the real world complications and scenarios of our idea we cllected theoretical findinds and methodological contributions.

Project proposal;
After the literature review and deep analysis we proposed the project to relevant authority that whwther the project is feasible and can be implemented to recent market requirment.

Planning the Project:
after the approval of our idea its time to eork on our project and achieve our goal.

Virtual implementation:
After planning to avoid failures or losses it is mandatory to implement the plan on a relevant software so that any defect or lacking can be found easily .We will use Matlab,Proteus and other softwares as well to test and achieve our required goal.

Physical implementation:
Once the simulation is done and results are verified we will implement in on hardware .

Testing:
We will test the sensors and get the output.

Re-iterating:
We will repeat the testing procedure to ensure the working condition of the project  under different conditions and situations.

Future Enhancement suggestions:
In this step future enhancement wil be suggested so in future anyone can work on it for more advancement and efficiency.

Final product;
  project will be completed and ready to serve the humanity.

Benefits of the Project

• It provides an environment that can be adjusted to provide the ideal temperature as well as the perfect amount of oxygen, humidity and temperature.
• Without this specifically controlled environment, many infants could not survive, particularly those born a few months early.
• In addition to climate control, our incubator offers protection from allergens, germs, excessive noises, and light levels that might cause harm. An incubator’s ability to control humidity also allows it to protect a baby’s skin from losing too much water and becoming brittle or cracking.
•  track a range of things including a baby’s temperature and heart rate. This monitoring allows nurses and doctors to constantly track a baby’s health status.
• Cost effective.
• portable

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

•    In this incubator an Arduino Mega is used as microcontroller .It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
•    DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor is used for monitoring of the temperature and humidity ranging from 0-50C’ while MAX30100 is used for pulse monitoring of the infant. The SpO2 is a continuous time oversampling sigma delta converter with up to 16-bit resolution.
•    This incubator will be equipped with batteries, in case of power failure it can continue its operations.
•    This  device protects your little patients so they can grow while making your workflow easier with quick and comfortable access to the baby.
•    Its most prominent feature is that it is designed for remote areas .
•    This Incubator is a cost effective, collapsible, and lightweight IOT based neonatal incubator for remote areas offering a safe,  thermoregulated environment for newborns to thrive in.
•    This incubator will help put a stop to the thousands of newborn deaths that occur every day due to lack of basic medical equipment.
•    Its mobility makes it more sufficient and its real time monitoring specification helps one keep an eye on infant.
