Abstract

As healthcare technology advances, there is growing enthusiasm for the Internet of Things (IoT), particularly in the era of baby health. To monitor and enhance baby health through ongoing data gathering efforts and health management features, this article presents a smart crib which integrates with Internet of Things technology. The temperature, moisture, and sound sensors are all part of the smart crib sensor network. It also continuously monitors physiological indicators like body temperature and notifies parents or other caregivers of information gathered by the moisture and sound sensors. Furthermore, the suggested system will remind families of immunization schedules and send automated reminders to parents or guardians to encourage them to follow the vaccine schedule. This Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart cradle seeks to reduce parental stress, guarantee on-time immunizations, and improve the general safety and wellbeing of infants by fusing proactive reminders with health monitoring. The suggested solution is a scalable and useful tool for contemporary childcare since it places an emphasis on data security, low power consumption, and ease of use.
