ModHera: A modular kit for parents to take care babies

WellGuard: An Interactive System for New Parents to Care for Their Babies

“…Previous work has confirmed the importance of caring for infants and many related solutions have been proposed. For example: there is an infant care kit wearable wristband for parents to receive monitoring data and notifications generated by an infant wearable module designed to assist parents in monitoring their infant's vital signs and adopting standard infant care practices [5]; there is a design for non-invasive newborn temperature monitoring using wearable sensors to provide accurate and comfortable temperature detection for infants [6]; a system that can be integrated into a smart newborn jacket for monitoring neonatal ECG [7]; a wearable infant monitoring system for preventing SIDS and reducing infant mortality that monitors an infant's body temperature and heart rate [8]; a pair of wearable socks for continuous monitoring of infant's body temperature and heart rate, which remotely sends the collected information to a mobile application designed for parents and notifies them in case of emergency [9]; there is a glove that monitors an infant's body temperature and heart rate, which contains digital temperature sensors and heart rate sensors for monitoring temperature and heart rate from the wrist line and fingertips, respectively [10]; there is a design for a system that monitors an infant's body temperature, pulse rate, humidity status and movement [11]. Inspired by the above, this paper explores the possibility of helping parents to understand their infant's body temperature and ambient temperature in order to support them to take better care of their infants and understand their condition.…”
