Monitoring system for sudden infant death syndrome for blind and deaf parents

摘要

A monitoring system for sudden infant death syndrome alerts parents, including parents who are blind and deaf, of any unexpected and unpleasant change in their infantâ s health condition, especially at night time. The system comprises three parts: a portable monitoring and warning control unit, a sensor bracelet that would be placed around the infantâ s wrist and an alarm bracelet for blind and deaf parents. The infant sensor bracelet comprises: heart beating sensor, temperature sensor, blood pressure sensor, oxygen saturation sensor, microphone and transceiver to receive and transmit data to the portable control monitoring unit. The alarm bracelet for blind and deaf parents comprises transceiver to receive and transmit data to the portable control monitoring unit, vibration alarm unit for heart beating, vibration alarm unit for temperature, vibration alarm unit for blood pressure and vibration alarm unit for oxygen saturation to produce vibrations when the heart beating, temperature, blood pressure and oxygen saturation sensors are outside their acceptable ranges. The vibration alarm units each have Braille characters printed in the top to enable a blind person to identify the vibration alarm. The portable monitoring and warning control unit comprises transceiver to communicate with the bracelets, processing control unit to collect data and compare it with thresholds / acceptable ranges, alarm and display features for the heart beating, temperature, blood pressure and oxygen saturation sensors comprising four speakers and four screens â one for each sensor. Each screen is identified by Braille characters. The screens may comprise Braille displays. Each speaker may have a different / unique tone. The unit may comprise four buttons, one for each sensor, which when pressed would trigger a voice to speak the current heart beating sensor, temperature sensor, blood pressure sensor, oxygen saturation sensor measurements. The unit may comprise a speaker to reproduce the sounds of the infant detected by the sensor bracelet microphone. The unit may comprise a hanger.
