| Popis: | Background and Objective: Regulating body temperature of premature infants and preparing them a desirable physical condition for completing physical and mental development is essential. Using a system that guarantees neonate’s health in incubator at first birth hours is cardinal. Materials and Methods: In this method, a set of non-contact infrared sensors and microcontrollers regulate neonate’s body temperature without skin sensor. Temperatures were converted to digital data after mean evaluation. They were sent to digital microcontroller for user's settings and functional orders of internal conversion system of incubator. Results: In this study, an intelligent system is presented for controlling body temperature of premature infants in incubators without skin sensors. Conclusion: This technique causes incubator’s proper performance and safety. It prevents damages to brain and other organs of premature neonates and reduces neurological disorders of these infants. |
