Monitoring baby health status in incubator is a necessary task and need more attention. Huge number of issues was happened previously like improper oxygen supply, theft of child and mishandling in continuous monitoring. Hence a proper automatic system should be needed for monitoring a baby in incubator with reduced human interaction. This can be achieved through sensors and projected as proposed system. Here temperature, humidity, heartbeat, pressure and accelerometer sensor are used to check baby body condition and if any drastic change is identified in it will be automatically intimated through buzzer. If any unauthorized person is picking up the child it will be detected by IR sensor and automatically door will be closed. Another major issue is the current status of a child is not transparent to respective parent here all the details gathered from the sensors will be automatically loaded in cloud through IoT which can viewed by their parent as well as doctor to analyze current status of the baby. The whole process is controlled by Raspberry PI and for continuous monitoring solar panel is added that provide power supply for our system sequentially without any interrupt. Hence it clearly shows that our proposed system achieves the objective of our work and protects baby both in physical and health based parameters.
