LOW COST PORTABLE BABY INCUBATOR

Neonatal incubator has been designed, modelled and developed with embedded temperature and humidity control system. Temperature plays an important part in our environment. Changes in temperature can affect the behavior of human beings, plants and even materials such as semiconductors. This project is to control the temperature and humidity of a given environment such as baby incubator. Incubators provide warmth and prevent heat loss to significantly improve survival rates. The use of airheated incubators has been the standard method of providing a stable, individualized thermal environment for the newborn infant at risk. The aim of our project is to develop an advanced portable and wireless based incubator. An infant incubator provides stable levels of temperature, relative humidity and oxygen concentration. The relative humidity should follow set values according to the number of incubation days. System implemented by us will transfer the data of continuous measuring data of temperature, humidity and heart-beat with in a big range to the one or more than one particular android phones. It is able to give alarm to the parents at any danger condition. If the incubator temperature decreased than the given set point the arduino board will instruct the heating pad for turning on until the temperature reaches to the set point. The device can potentially be the incubator system in remote villages where standard neonatal incubators may not be available.
