Baby Sentry: A Smart Cradle

Abstract

“Baby Sentry” is designed as an automated cradle that operates on sensors. This cradle is mainly designed to detect any possible external harm while keeping the baby comfortable and notifying the parents of the baby's condition. The cradle would monitor the baby's activities continuously, including the expressions, moisture, temperature, surroundings, etc. To make sure that the baby is comfortable, the cradle would automatically swing when required and play soothing audio(like ragas, mother's voice, music, etc.) to calm the baby. A Health Algorithm is applied to these real-time datasets to get information about the body's conditions. All these actions can be handled using the app. An external camera will photograph anyone who approaches the cradle, and the app will notify the parents.
