Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized healthcare solutions’ design, construction, and deployment. This research project focuses on developing an external device incorporating Internet of Things (IoT) technology for real-time monitoring of neonatal incubator parameters in sub-Saharan Africa. This IoT is intended to monitor real-time vital signs such as body temperature, humidity, pulse rate, oxygen concentration, air quality, and the sound level of the immediate environment and transmit the data via a mobile application. The Internet of Things has a micro controller for storing temporal sensor data. Temperature, humidity, and heart rate sensors monitor temperature, humidity, pulse oximetry, and heart rate, respectively, and a gas sensor detects harmful gases. The mic sensor detects abnormal sound levels around the incubator, while the Wi-Fi module provides the micro controller access to a Wi-Fi network. The sensor data is sent to a cloud-based platform that houses the data, analysis, and retrieval. This research paper contains the details of system design, implementation, and performance evaluation. The evaluation findings reveal the device to be trus table and accurate, providing neonate caregivers with valuable information.
