Abstract
This paper investigates the monitoring of infants using wearable sensor networks technologies based on blood oxygen saturation. Wearable sensors are suitable for the diagnostic and monitoring of “applications”. Their miniaturization as well as that of electronic circuits play a vital role in the development of wearable systems. On the other hand, bBood oxygen content is now considered as one of the vital signs for infant monitoring based on temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood pressure. One of the main advantages of pulse oximetry is that measurements are taken non-invasively through optical measurements. The system consists of a sensor module, a monitor, and an alarm. The sensor is to be placed on a peripheral tissue bed such as the child’s ankle. The monitor should be able to receive telemetric data through a signal from a sensor. The monitor and an alarm could be placed in a different room, for instance, the parents room. The alarm must sound if an abnormal level of oxygen or pulse rate is detected. This paper reports on the usability of such monitoring system. This paper discusses on a general architecture for infant monitoring system using wireless body area network based on oxygen saturation.
