Abstract

A newborn respiratory screening device consists of the main unit, which performs the following functions: The microcontroller receives signals, calculates and processes them for display on the touchscreen, and also includes push buttons. It turns on / off and provides speaker alerts. The sensor detects changes in the angle of the lower abdomen during breathing. The sensor includes an accelerometer, with upper and lower frames made of soft, harmless silicone material. It's connected to the baby's skin and has a sensor wire that plugs into the device. It's responsible for program operation and receiving commands. The control panel will display a breathing graph and show the count of how many times the child breathes per minute. It displays the average number of breaths per minute, shows the duration of apnea, and includes a count and timer. For settings, to set the breathing range (more than or less than) per minute, To set the notification, you need to press a button to specify how many seconds of breathing pause trigger the notification, as well as the level of the notification sound. Configurable settings within the system allow for noise reduction (FIR band pass filter) in the angle sensor. The accelerometer sensor receives signals from the tilt of other environmental factors, which then affect the microcontroller. The baby's breathing patterns can be calculated accurately.

OCR 09WP 06 / 05 / 2569 1. The newborn respiratory abnormality screening device has two main components: a processing unit and a... It has the appearance of a rectangular shape with rounded corners, containing various components related to processing inside the box. Breathing sensor (1) is a part that comes into contact with the skin on the newborn's abdomen to detect breathing and transmit it. Breathing signal detection program with Accelerometer sensor (8) which set of devices The processor and the breathing sensor (1) are connected via sensor wires (2) and wire connectors. For adjusting the operation of the microcontroller device (5) on the processing unit, there is an on / off switch for the device. (3) Inside the processing unit, there is a microcontroller (5) which calculates the breathing rate. From changes in the abdominal angle of the newborn during the peak and bottom of respiration, the obtained signals are then passed on. The calculation process for cutting out noise (FIR band pass filter) where the touch screen (6) will display as The graph of breathing (14) and the number of breaths per second (15) and the result of the breathing rate per breath. Per minute (16) Breathing pause duration (17) The touchscreen includes a restart button (18) to count the rate. New Breathing, Setting Button (19), Calibration Button for starting breathing count or calibration (20), Notification Button. Warning: Stop notification button (21) and Default settings button (22) for setting notification and volume. Speaker alert sound (4) with back button (23) maximum breathing rate setting button (24) rate setting button Minimum Breathing (25), Breathing Time Setting Button (26), and Sound Setting Button (27). Its unique characteristics include: The front frame (11) is rectangular with rounded corners on the front, leaving a rectangular area in the middle for The touch screen (6) is secured to the front frame with screws (7). A hole is drilled in the lower right corner of the body for insertion. Small speaker (4) and device on / off switch (3) The rear frame (12) is square in shape with beveled corners and is attached to the front frame (11) with screws (7) drilled on the sides. Holes for power supply connections (13), sensor wires (2), and connectors for adjusting device operation. Microcontroller (5) The breathing sensor (1) consists of the upper frame (9), the lower frame (10) and the angle sensor. Tilt (Accelerometer sensor) (8) is located in the center, where the lower frame (10) is in contact with the skin of the abdomen. Newborns are made of soft, skin-friendly materials. The top frame (9) is made of hard plastic. The area where the medical anchor plate is used is securely attached to the newborn's abdomen. The sensor detects... Breathing (1) Breathing can be detected using an acceleration sensing principle that comes in the form of a mounted vibration. The baby's abdomen is accessed via the sensor wire (2) through the processing unit.
