Abstract

This paper applies Smart Wearable Technology (SWT) to Gynecology and Obstetrics Care, to protect new born babies from being stolen. We designed a wearable infant bracelet based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology which can monitor posture of baby, and built BLE Gateway (BLEG) network to collect broadcast data from the former; at the same time, we developed Infant Management Software System (IMSS) for indoor positioning and events classification. We also designed three experiments: Experiment A is to build RSSI-Distance Model of infant bracelet and the results show that the RSSI will attenuate with distance increasing within ten meters; Experiment B is to test the reliability of BLEG and the results show that two BLEGs cooperation can reduce the missing rate compared with only one BLEG; Experiment C is to evaluate three BLEG Threshold Configure Methods (BTCM) including Static, Half-Dynamic and Dynamic used in indoor positioning and the results show that Dynamic is the best method of three Methods by miss rate of 3.66%. The product of this paper has been applied to the fourth hospital of Shijiazhuang City.
