Presented by Mahmoud Moneeb Azab 788.11J Presentation“Smart Jacket”
The Main Idea • Critically ill new born babies admitted at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are extremely tiny and vulnerable to external disturbance. • Smart Jacket is the vision of a wearable unobtrusive continuous monitoring system realized by body sensor networks (BSN) and wireless communication.
The Main Achievements • The Smart Jacket provides continuous monitoring of vital functions • Contains the integration of conductive textiles for ECG monitoring • Platform for future research, in which wireless communication, power supply and sensors are developed • Obtains a sense of trust by parents • Reliability : improved ECG signal obtained • Wearability :the success of the Smart Jacket largely depends on the wearable comfort of the jacket.
Contribution • The Smart Jacket is already being used as a platform for further research. • TU/e researchers from different departments are working on new wearable electronics/photonics and wireless technology. • PowerBoy is the first step towards a wireless power supply.
The Challenges • Support the vital health monitoring functions • Be safe to use in the NICU environment • Be scalable to include more monitoring functions such as wireless communication and local signal Processing
The Challenges • For non-invasive neonatal monitoring encompass movement artifacts, miniaturized sensors, system modeling, power supply for wearable systems, design process from designing printed circuit board (PCB) to form giving, and clinical validation. • Support continuous monitoring when the baby is inside the incubator or during Kangaroo mother Care
The Challenges • Gain the feeling of trust by the parents and the • Medical staff through an attractive design • Be non-intrusive and avoid disturbance of the • Baby and avoid causes of stress • Provide appropriate feedback which is also • Interpretable for parents and hospital staff on whether the system’s components are correctly functioning
