“…Factors such as accelerometer weight and size, which are not problematic for physical activity measurement in older children [22,23], are major obstacles in premature babies. Accelerometers have been used in infants to assess sleep=wake cycles [24], more accurately assess the physiology of swallowing [25], and identify movements that could confound assessment of oxygen saturation derived from cutaneous monitors [26]. In addition, several studies conducted by Pickler et al [27,28] have been done to examine preterm infant movement and sucking.…”

There is emerging data that patterns of motor activity early in neonatal life can predict impairments in neuromotor development. However, current techniques to monitor infant movement mainly rely on observer scoring, a technique limited by skill, fatigue, and inter-rater reliability. Consequently, we tested the use of a lightweight, wireless, accelerometer system that measures movement and can be worn by premature babies without interfering with routine care. We hypothesized that this system would be useful in assessing motor activity, in identifying abnormal movement, and in reducing the amount of video that a clinician would need to review for abnormal movements. Ten preterm infants in the NICU were monitored for 1 h using both the accelerometer system and video. A physical therapist trained to recognize cramped-synchronized general movements scored all of the video data by labeling each abnormal movement observed. The parameters of three different computer models were then optimized based on correlating features computed from accelerometer data and the observer’s annotations. The annotations were compared to the model’s prediction on unseen data. The trained observer identified cramped-synchronized general movements in 6 of the 10 infants. The computer models attained between 70% and 90% accuracy when predicting the same observer label for each data point. Our study suggests that mini-accelerometers may prove useful as a clinical tool assessing patterns of movement in preterm infants.

“…The wireless base station allows the information exchange between the sensor mote and a variety of computing systems such as PDAs, cell phones and laptops, which allows parents or nurses to be alerted when the child's vital signs have exceeded predefined health settings. The BBA bootee [ 12 ] shown on the left of Figure 14 has been developed based on an oximetry module and a triaxial accelerometer to achieve multi-parameter monitoring for infants. Sensors data connection and transmission are managed by a microcontroller transceiver through a short-wave radiofrequency link.…”

“…Another example is a wearable multi-parameter monitor named BBA bootee, developed to achieve the monitoring of infants at risk of apparent life threatening events (ALTE). The sensors, electronics and the power supply are integrated into the bootee, which provides reliable pulse oximetry measurements as well as useful information about the infant's movement and position [ 12 ]. Through detecting the variation in the exhaled CO 2 concentration using CO 2 sensors placed in the crib around an infant, clinicians are able to detect if there is anything unusual with the infant's respiration [ 13 ].…”

Continuous health status monitoring of infants is achieved with the development and fusion of wearable sensing technologies, wireless communication techniques and a low energy-consumption microprocessor with high performance data processing algorithms. As a clinical tool applied in the constant monitoring of physiological parameters of infants, wearable sensor systems for infants are able to transmit the information obtained inside an infant's body to clinicians or parents. Moreover, such systems with integrated sensors can perceive external threats such as falling or drowning and warn parents immediately. Firstly, the paper reviews some available wearable sensor systems for infants; secondly, we introduce the different modules of the framework in the sensor systems; lastly, the methods and techniques applied in the wearable sensor systems are summarized and discussed. The latest research and achievements have been highlighted in this paper and the meaningful applications in healthcare and behavior analysis are also presented. Moreover, we give a lucid perspective of the development of wearable sensor systems for infants in the future.

The potential impact of optical fiber sensors embedded into medical textiles for the continuous monitoring of the patients is presented. We report on a novel non-intrusive optical sensing technology designed to measure the elongation due to abdominal and thoracic motions during breathing. The developed sensor can successfully sense textile elongation between 0.1 % and 5 %, while maintaining the stretching properties of the textile substrates for a good comfort of the patient. The solution prototyped shows a high stability and good reproducibility allowing consideration of a mobile or static application with an easier integration in all kinds of garment by stitching the sensor to the garment. The sensor is coupled to a compact, real time and accurate monitoring system which could be interfaced to a conventional monitor for medical application or to a wireless system for all mobile and ambulatory applications.
