Design of Baby Vital Signs with BPM, SpO2, Skin Temperature and Respiration Rate Parameters for Real-Time Monitoring (BPM and SpO2)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is that the neonatal room requires special monitoring to determine the condition and development of the baby. Because of the importance of oxygen for the human body, the most important indicators needed for the human body are oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate. Oxygen saturation and heart rate are very important because if the oxygen in the newborn is low, it must be watched out for abnormalities in the baby. Based on the description above, then in this study entitled "Design of Baby Vital Signs Monitoring Tool with BPM, SpO2, Skin Temperature and Respiration Rate Parameters in Real Time (BPM and SpO2)" will be made a baby vital sign tool to monitor BPM and SpO2 by using neonatal fingertip sensors and ESP32 as a microcontroller. the method used for this research is transmittance where the Finger sensor consists of IR, LED and Photodiode which faces one side under the fingertip and on the other side is on the back of the fingertip. This neonatal fingertip sensor is a sensor specifically used for babies so that babies feel comfortable and do not interfere with baby activities. From the design of this tool, data that has been compared with infant oxymetry using 5 respondents and 5 repetitions of measurements obtained an error value for the largest SpO2 which is 2.95% and for BPM which is 2.76%, it shows that the module is quite suitable and stable.
