ModHera: A modular kit for parents to take care babies

Published:24 June 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

Baby care is an onerous task for parents because inappropriate baby care practices and activities can be harmful to infants. This paper introduces a baby care kit, ModHera, designed for parents to monitor their babies’ vital signs and adopt standard baby care practices. ModHera consists of three baby wearable modules: a shaken baby syndrome (SBS) prevention module, a respiration monitor, and a body temperature monitor module. A wearable wristband is developed for parents to receive the monitoring data and notifications generated by the baby wearable modules. Moreover, ModHera has an APP to record the monitoring data. Three scenarios were demonstrated to introduce the applications of ModHera, and user interviews were conducted to assess the usability of ModHera. The results show ModHera can assist parents in taking care of babies and help ease their burden of baby care.
