An Intelligent Mobile Agents System For Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Monitoring

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) usually happened for new born. It typically occurs associated with a period of sleep. The cause (or causes) of SIDS is still unknown. Deprived of oxygen, and over-heating are environmental risk factors of SIDS. In this paper, an intelligent method for preventing sudden infant death based on Arduino system is proposed.
The proposed method will mainly consist of intelligent software incorporated with hardware components such as sensors to sense and detect important physical signals i.e. infant breath, infant temperature and heart rate and accordingly pass these recording data to Arduino device. In addition, parents will wirelessly receive SMS via Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) in real time. Such message will carry the recorded data as well as a warning when problems occurred. A prototype is designed and developed which gives a reliable and efficient real time infant monitoring system that can play a vital role in reducing the SIDS occurred and save an infant’s life.
