IOT BASED BABY MONITORING SYSTEM USING RASPBERRYPI

Abstract

This paper presents an idea to design a Smart Cradle System using IOT which will help the Parents to
monitor their child even if they are away from home & detect every activity of the Baby from any distant corner of the
world. It is an innovative, smart & protective Cradle System to nurture an infant in an efficient way. This system
considers all the minute details required for the care & protection of the Baby in the cradle. The design of smartness &
innovation comes with the use of technologies/methodologies which include Internet of Things (IOT) (Modules like
Raspberry Pi, Humidity & Temperature sensing), Cry Detecting Mechanism, Live Video Surveillance, Cloud
Computing (Data Storage) & User Friendly Web application (for User Controls). In order to detect each & every
activity of Baby, different Sensors/Modules are attached to the Cradle: Humidity & Temperature Sensing Module for
detection of Wetness of the bed, A Camera on top of the Cradle for live video footage & Cry Detection Circuit to
analyze Cry Patterns. All the data which is been taken from the sensors/modules will be stored in Cloud (Thing Speak)
& analyzed at regular intervals. A Health Algorithm is applied to these datasets to get information about the body
conditions which is helpful as any regular symptoms of a disease can be identified easily.
