Smart Infant and Child Monitoring System using Integrated IoT and GIS

Abstract

Considering the present world’s scenario, every parent is busy in their job and familial routines. In the case of India, both the parents need to work and look after their babies/infants. So more workload and stress will often be felt in such families especially by the mother or the care taker of the babies. The present family type is found to be nuclear in nature,so that the luxury of availing the aid of grandparents is not feasible. This paper presents an affordable baby monitoring system for such busy parents so that they can ensure the proper care and safety of their babies. The proposed model is designed with MQTT based node-MCU unit,which will analyze the parameters which are vital in determining the state of baby. The sensors are deployed to determine the temperature, heart-rate, moisture and cry of the babies. This system is based on the GSM technique for sending alert messages to the parents in case of any of the monitoring parameters exceeds certain permissible values. The main aim of this work is to save the time of the parents and provides them the satisfaction of maximum security and safety of their babies.
