| Summary: | Background
and Objective: Regulating body temperature
of premature infants and preparing them a desirable physical condition for
completing physical and mental development is essential. Using a system that
guarantees neonate’s health in incubator at first birth hours is cardinal.
Materials
and Methods: In this method, a set of non-contact infrared sensors
and microcontrollers regulate neonate’s body temperature without skin sensor.
Temperatures were converted to digital data after mean evaluation. They were
sent to digital microcontroller for user's settings and functional orders of
internal conversion system of incubator.
Results: In
this study, an intelligent system is presented for controlling body temperature
of premature infants in incubators without skin sensors.
Conclusion: This
technique causes incubator’s proper performance and safety. It prevents damages
to brain and other organs of premature neonates and reduces neurological
disorders of these infants. |
