Design of Temperature and Humidity Monitoring Baby Incubator Based on Internet of Things

Abstract

Babies who are born prematurely need intensive care and a fairly stable level of warmth given that the baby is not accustomed to adapting to temperatures outside the mother's womb, which is an incubator. The incubator serves to maintain the warmth and humidity of the baby's body. There are still many incubators that are conventional in nature which means that the temperature and humidity are not controlled to be constant. While the automatic incubator is very expensive. Temperature and humidity control monitoring system is very much needed in an incubator because at the moment there is still a lot of temperature monitoring done manually. Thus the monitoring and control system of temperature and humidity of the incubator is designed which can be automatically monitored from a considerable distance based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This system consists of 2 parts, namely the main device and monitoring device. The sensor used is DHT11 for temperature and humidity, and DS18B20 sensor for mattress temperature. On the web will be displayed monitoring temperature, humidity in real-time and as a controller when the incubator is in manual mode. Monitoring can be done in real-time and manual controlling can be done on the web and also displayed on the LCD. If the temperature and humidity do not match what is specified, the heater or DC fan will turn on.
