1 TARIFF A SMART INCUBATOR Technical Area 5 This invention facilitates routine care and monitoring of infants after birth. to ensure that the baby is monitored in the position where it is placed and soothing and / or caring for the baby depending on their negative reactions with at least one smart incubator that ensures the person performing the procedure is warned and informed, 10 It is related. Previous Technique After birth, babies need 15 days to adjust from the womb to the outside world. They are living. This adjustment period is the first 28 days after birth. This encompasses the process of the babies adapting to the outside world. to monitor the baby and track any potential health problems. The baby is placed in an incubator to provide suitable conditions for the baby. Also, early The newborn babies are similarly placed in incubators, and the baby's condition is monitored for 20 days. The patient is being kept in intensive care until their condition stabilizes and their health is monitored. However, proper follow-up of babies after birth is extremely important. When babies are restless and / or uncomfortable, they may cry, grimace, and use their arms and legs. They exhibit behaviors such as rapidly moving their legs. Babies are born with these traits. Monitoring the baby's vital functions along with their subsequent behavior at 25 This provides important information about the baby's health status and therefore requires observation. Keeping it under control is extremely important. In current practices, inside the incubator... the temperature inside the incubator is adjusted to stabilize the baby's condition. It is adjustable, and oxygen can be supplied to the incubator. Placed in the incubator The baby will be cared for by a caregiver and / or nurse and / or a caregiver responsible for their care at regular intervals. monitoring the baby's health status by ensuring that it is checked by a person This is provided. However, it is necessary to ensure that information about the baby's health status is obtained. 2 This ensures that the baby is continuously monitored to detect any potential discomfort and / or illness. in the event of the situation and / or any adverse situation, the caregiver and / or informing the nurse and / or caregiver and / or the baby white noise, used to soothe the mother in the womb, is used to help relax her. There is no application that allows you to automatically play the audio. 5 Therefore, in the current state of the technique, continuous monitoring of the baby is required. This allows us to monitor the baby's health status and track any potential problems. caregiver and / or nurse and / or someone responsible for care in case of adverse situations The person should be directly informed, and in cases where the baby is restless, white 10 automatic playback of noise and / or any calming sound An incubator that provides this possibility is needed. In the Chinese patent document numbered CN212347018, which is included in the known state of the art... The text refers to a multifunctional newborn baby incubator system. The Chinese model in question is 15. The invention described in the patent document is an incubator body, a part of the incubator body... an insulation cover hinged to the opening, an air exchange device, a monitoring a newborn baby incubator containing a device and a soothing device It explains that the air exchange device is an air exchange fan in an incubator body. An air intake vent and oxygen tank are located at the bottom, and a baby cradle is placed there as well. 20 A heating plate is installed in the baby crib, under the baby crib. Springs are placed in this section. The monitoring system includes a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, and a sound sensor. It consists of a sensor and a camera. The calming device is a rocking device, a It includes a music player and a soothing nipple, a shaking device, a motor and a gear. and includes a working fixing device at the bottom of the incubator body. 25 The incubator can sense the temperature, humidity, and sound of a baby's environment in a timely manner. A new, multifunctional device that is convenient to adjust and can effectively soothe. Newborn babies are provided with an incubator. Another 30 reached as a result of research, which is included in another known case of the technique. in the document, United States patent document number US2015250978 from a sound therapy system designed for use with babies in incubators 3 It is mentioned. The invention that is the subject of the aforementioned United States patent document. It is a sound therapy system designed for use with babies in incubators. The system, storing recordings of soothing music, a mother's heartbeat, a mother's voice, or nature sounds. and includes an audio playback device configured for playing audio. This audio playback device The device consists of one or more 5-inch tubes that are removable and fixed inside an incubator. It is electrically and functionally connected to the speaker unit. In this way, inside to soothe and calm a baby found inside an incubator Sound playback is performed. The sound playback device allows for immediate cessation of auditory therapy. outside of an incubation unit to reduce the possibility of it being started or stopped It is stored in a removable, securely fastened slide. 10 Brief Description of the Invention The aim of this invention is to improve the routine care and follow-up of infants after birth. To ensure this happens, the baby is monitored in the position where it is placed and 15 soothing and / or caring for the baby depending on their negative reactions at least one incubator that ensures the person carrying it is warned and informed. to accomplish.
