ABSTRACT This papers deals with the cost-worthy design of an embedded device for real time monitoring of newborn babies in the incubator. In smart incubator a child s medical data can be checked through mobile phones or computers by the doctors or nurses from the place where they are accessing by the cloud storage through the internet. The smart Incubator is a one which monitors the newborn baby continuously and which sends the medical data directly to the cloud storage and the data s are stored. The medical data can be viewed from mobile phones and computer systems from the place where they are and from they can take actions. The change in health parameters can be closely monitored using this method. The accurate values are displayed so that the doctors can check the baby s health easily and they can avoid babies having health problems.

INTRODUCTION An incubator is an apparatus used to monitor and maintain environmental conditions suitable for a newborn baby. It is used in preterm births or for some ill full term babies. The baby s health conditions are maintained properly. The incubator monitors oxygen supplementation and pressure levels. It also monitors temperature, radiation pulse activity and air humidity, gas around the environment [9]. In smart incubator we use sensors and data transfer devices which stores the data and transfers it to the cloud storage.the medical data can be viewed from mobile phones and computer systems from the place where they are and from they can take actions. If there is any problem with the medical data and short circuit current the sensor gives the alarm signals to the cloud connected doctors and nurse mobile phones. They can prevent the baby affecting from problems.[9] II. EXISTING SYSTEM AND PROPOSED WORK A. Existing system Fig 2.1 Modern day incubator 23 International Journal for Modern Trends in Science and Technology
The existing systems in the incubators are they monitor and control the health parameters of a new born child. The blood pressure monitor is a machine that's connected to a small cuff which wrapped around the arm or leg of the patient. This cuff automatically takes the blood pressure and displays the data for review by providers. The Oxygen hood is a clear box that fits over the baby s head and supplies oxygen. This is used for babies who can still breathe but need some respiratory support. Ventilator is a breathing machine that delivers air to the lungs. Babies who are severely ill will receive this intervention. Typically, the ventilator takes the role of the lungs while treatment is administered to improve lung and circulatory function [1]. The schematic diagram of the proposed system is shown in the figure 2.1. B. Proposed system An incubator is an apparatus used to monitor and maintain environmental conditions suitable for a newborn baby. It is used in preterm births or for some ill full term babies. The incubator monitors oxygen supplementation and pressure levels. It also monitors temperature, radiation, pulse activity and air humidity, gas around the environment. In smart incubator we use sensors and data transfer devices which stores the data and transfers it to the cloud storage.[1-6] The medical data can be viewed from mobile phones and computer systems from the place where they are and from they can take actions. The design is based on Wi-Fi and infrared technologies that measure the essential parameters that must be controlled for preemies. Variations occurred in this result immediately given alert message to given alert to the relevant hospital management and also the patient home. [8] This paper propose a system which can be very useful for bio-medical applications, where doctors can monitor the subject(s) condition from the place where they are sitting and hence proper and timely care to the patient can be given. They can prevent the baby affecting from problems. The block diagram of the proposed system is shown in the figure 2.2 for implementing it with the help of NodeMCU controller. [10] It consists of light, temperature, humidity, pulse and gas sensors. Here Wi-Fi network and cloud storage for storing medical data has been used. So that the data can be viewed in mobile phones and laptops. If there is any problem with the medical data we can directly check the incubator so that the babies can be saved from improper health conditions. Fig 2.2 Block diagram of the proposed system III. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS For implement the proposed system the following software s are required: Arduino Ubidots A. Arduino Cloud computing Internet of things Arduino is an open source computer hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical and digital world. The project's products are distributed as open- source hardware and software which are licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) or the GNU General Public License (GPL), permitting the manufacture of Arduino boards and software distribution by anyone. Arduino boards are available commercially in preassembled form, or as do-ityourself (DIY) kits. B. Ubidots Ubidots is a cloud storage system which storesmass number of information s and records many number of values for every second using Internet of Things. It shows the real time data connected through the internet. Ubidots has become known within hardware, software, embedded engineering, and maker circles as the affordable, reliable, and most useable platform in 24 International Journal for Modern Trends in Science and Technology
an IoT platform ecosystem filled with strong competition. The figure 3.1 shows the webpage for Ubidots software which is interface with Arduino controller. Fig 3.2 Cloud computing network D. Internet of Things C. Cloud computing Fig 3.1 Ubidots webpage Cloud Computing refers to manipulating, configuring, and accessing the applications online. It offers online data storage, infrastructure and application. Cloud computing is a paradigm of distributed computing to provide the customers on-demand, utility based computing services. Cloud users can provide more reliable, available and updated services to their clients in turn. Cloud itself consists of physical machines in the data centers of cloud providers. Virtualization is provided on top of these physical machines. These virtual machines are provided to the cloud users. IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) and the Internet. The concept may also be referred to as the Internet of Everything. The internet of things (IoT) is the internetworking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data. A thing, in the Internet of Things, can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low -or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability to transfer data over a network. IV. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION The various hardware components are required for implementing the proposed system: NODEMCU ARDUINO DHT11 SENSOR LIGHT SENSOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR GAS SENSOR PULSE SENSOR Based on the specification of the above hardware components, the connections and coding were implemented and obtained the results as mentioned in the figure 4.1, 4.2, 4.3.

pin is connected with ground. The power supply is given through a adapter and the cable connected to the laptop. It needs a power supply of 5v. By adding the library files in the Arduino IDE software and NodeMCU files the WI- FI network is established so that the data can be stored in Ubidots.
