dc.description.abstract | The sudden and unexplained death of an infant younger than one year, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), is currently the leading cause of death for infants in the United States. This thesis gives the design for a prototype of an early warning SIDS detection device. The prototype monitors three parameters; temperature, motion, and level of oxygen saturation in blood. Data of these parameters is transmitted wirelessly to a remote location for data analysis. Hardware limitations result in delaying the integration of all three sensor signals for a later period. Greater improvements in the hardware will allow for both a decrease in error and combined integration of all three sensor signals. Future work to this project will also include additional sensors, miniaturization of the product, and live testing. | en_US |
