Implementation of IoT of an Electric Infant Warmer to Prevent Hypothermia in Newborns

Abstract


Hypothermia is a drop in body temperature below 36.5°C in newborns. It results in an internal distribution of body heat from the nucleus to the periphery, followed by heat loss greater than metabolic production. Hypothermia is one of the factors predisposing to metabolic disorders, intracranial hemorrhage, respiratory distress, and Necrotizing enterocolitis. Hypothermia problems can be treated with infant warmers. Thus, the need for a infant warmer is considered to improve survival in newborns. This study aims to improve the accuracy of temperature monitoring, increase security, and enable remote monitoring. The temperature sensor of the device is calibrated with comparable devices such as Incubator Analyzer and Thermo hygrometer while the SpO2 sensor is calibrated with Spotlight SpO2 Functional Tester and Thermo hygrometer. Achievement and validation of temperature and oxygen saturation use a calibration comparison tool. The results of the temperature sensor measurements, including air temperature and skin sensor temperature, namely: air temperature error tolerance ≤2°C and skin sensor temperature error tolerance ± 0.5 ° C. All two indicators have the same standard deviation value of ±0.49. The SpO2 indicator reached an error tolerance value of ± 1% O2 with a standard deviation value of ± 0.6-0.9 from six trials. Then the pulse rate indicator obtained an error tolerance of ±5% with a standard deviation value of ±0.6. The smart infant warmer tool provides benefits to avoid excessive heat from the heater and minimize low temperatures that cause hypothermia through the Internet of Things technology. Furthermore, this research can be improved with machine learning technology to increase efficiency and effectiveness in patient treatment.
