摘要：Complications due to preterm birth are the main
factors of death in the group of children with five years of
age or less. Hence, a thorough care for these babies is needed
especially during the first weeks or months after birth. Because
in Peru not too many families can afford to rent or buy a
incubator, this work puts forward the design and construction
of a low-priced domestic incubator with telemetry system. The
most important parameters to monitor are considered to be: the
temperature and the humidity inside of the incubator and the
heart pulse of the baby. To maintain the levels of temperature
and humidity according to medical standards, a software was
developed in an Arduino Uno. In order that the parents monitor
the aforementioned parameters not necessarily being in the same
room where the incubator is, a bluetooth module was used with
the Arduino Uno to transmit the data to an app installed in
a mobile phone. The first tests have shown that the humidity
and temperature levels within the incubator are maintained as
desired, also the the heart pulse is the expected one. However,
there is still some work to do in regard to the upper limits of
the humidity and temperature levels, which will be implemented
as the next step of the project. It is expected that this incubator
will serve Peruvian families, specially those living at the edge of
poverty, who do not have the possibility of affording an expensive
incubator at home or paying for these services at hospitals, for
their premature babies.
