Title: An Integrated Incubator Module for Pediatric Patient Monitoring Systems

Abstract: Patient monitoring systems (PMS) is a method used for rating and controlling of the treatments and disorders. While PMS offers as wearable technologies for adults; it is used for adapting to incubator modules to ensure continuous and instant monitoring for newborn babies at the pediatric level. The purpose of this study is to make a pediatric PMS with the ability to be integrated to all type of classical incubators, and monitoring the conditions of the newborn babies with various sensors. It is designed as an Arduino based system that instantly records the variables such as temperature, humidity, air quality to the server using Wi-Fi connection and instantly providing the monitoring ability for clinicians and nurses. Accelerometer is used to control the baby's awake and asleep status, and patientbased safe identification and assessments are made using RFID. As a result, a system has been designed to integrate all the classical incubators and ensure that a large number of incubators can be monitored from a single center.

Başlık: Pediatrik Hasta İzleme Sistemleri için Entegre Kuvöz Modülü

Özet: Hasta takip sistemleri (HTS), bireylerin tedavi ve hastalıklarının değerlendirme süreçlerini kontrol altında tutmak ve hayati fonksiyonlarında meydana gelen süreli ve sürekli değişimler hakkında analiz yapabilmek için kullanılan bir yöntemdir. HTS, yetişkinler için giyilebilir teknolojiler olarak sunulurken; pediatri düzeyinde yeni doğan hastalar için sürekli kontrol imkânı sağlaması için kuvöz modüllerine uyarlanması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı klasik kullanımdaki kuvözlere entegre edilebilme özelliğine sahip, çeşitli sensörlerle yeni doğan bebeğin durumunun kontrolünü ve izlenmesini sağlayan pediatrik hasta izleme sistemi oluşturmaktır. Isı, nem, hava kalitesi gibi değerleri anlık olarak Wi-Fi aracılığıyla sunucuya kaydeden ve doktor, hemşire gibi tıbbi personeller için anlık görüntüleme imkânı sağlayan Arduino tabanlı bir sistem olarak tasarlanmıştır. İvme ölçerler sayesinde bebeğin uyanık ve uykuda olma durumu kontrol edilmekte, RFID ile hasta bazlı güvenli tanımlama ve rahatsızlık kaydı yapılmaktadır. Sonuç olarak tüm kuvözlere entegre edilebilecek ve çok sayıda kuvözün tek bir yerden izlenmesini sağlayacak bir sistem tasarlanmıştır.
