A premature baby's treatment takes place in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The NICU is an isolated room and it consists of a number of baby incubators and measuring, monitoring devices such as incubator, overhead heater, monitors, ambient oxygen analyser, intravenous drip, feeding pump and tubes, power supply, ventilator monitor, ventilator, etc. The measuring and controlling parameters are temperature of baby and baby incubator, oxygen level, CO2 level, pulse rates, humidity, light intensity etc. This research paper deals with monitoring the humidity of baby incubators. The increase or decrease of humidity levels causes an effect on the baby's health. High humidity creates problems such as heat exhaustion, heat stroke and an overproduction of mold causes allergies. The monitoring and controlling of humidity are the most important parameters in NICU. The humidity of the baby incubator is monitored using a humidity sensor. The sensing data is given to the Programmable System on Chip (PSoC). The system under investigation is designed successfully and reported in this paper.
