Description of Invention
This project introduces a pressure-sensitive smart monitoring system designed to improve neonatal handling safety and prevent injuries such as milk aspiration and shaken baby syndrome (SBS). The system features multilayered pressure sensor pads placed on the infant’s neck, upper back, and lower back, along with an MPU6050 accelerometer-gyroscope to detect unsafe tilt angles and excessive shaking. Real-time feedback is provided to caregivers via a user-friendly interface. By addressing the current lack of neonatal-specific monitoring technologies in Malaysia, this non-invasive system enhances caregiver awareness, supports safe infant posture, and contributes to the reduction of preventable neonatal harm.
