Wearable technology is fast creating a world in which technology is no longer an add-on. Instead, it is literally attached to us. It is embedded in our lives, generating and mining data in a way that is useful and functional and in here we do such thing for babies. By using this wearable device parents can be informed easily about baby’s health condition. The info is in online and it would be updated regularly. So it's very easy for parents and doctors to monitor about health condition. And now a days people are concern about their child’s health.
Intelligent Diaper
Product
A small electronics circuit which can be attached to baby’s diaper. This device would be powered by a small coin cell battery which can be powered this device for more than 6 months. By this device, you will be updated to your mobile and online automatically about baby’s health.
Technical Specification
-
As our main concern about collect urine and test it by our sensor, we use flexible electrodes for this.
-
We use coin cell battery, CR2032 for this purpose which can powered this device upto 6 months
-
As the heart of our device we used a SoC, includes BLE as well as a controller.
-
Flexible PCB to reduce the effect of stress (pain, scratch) on body.
-
Device looks like a rubber belt, which would be attach with belly. And the electrode would be plug and play. So everytime we just place the electrode to diaper and plug with this belt.
In the market, there is some intelligent diaper which can generate an alarm when a diaper is wet, and the price of this diaper is around 50$. But it can't give any health condition status nor even generate any report. Its purpose is just only generating an alarm. But on the other hand, our design is reusable and it generates smart report and notification.
Future work
-
Attached new sensor that's how it could detect UTI (Urinary tract infection)
-
Used for detect diabetics, type-1.
-
Used for check kidneys condition.
In our busy world it's really tough for parents to maintain and looking their child. This product would not be only for child but also be product for patients.
The product is really handheld and easy to use. And using this device people can be updated about their health condition. It can be helping doctor for regular data pattern of a patient.
This wearable device has huge aspect in our daily life. We should accept new technology and receive the advantage of modern technology.
