A group of students from Northeastern University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, known as Group 8 and working on a project called "iS.A.V.E.D" (Infant Safety And Vitals Evaluation Device), designed a system to monitor infants' vital signs to address issues like Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The project aims to provide real-time information on a baby's heart rate and blood oxygen levels. Their system includes a wearable jumpsuit for the infant with built-in sensors, signal processing components, and an infra-red transmitter. The data is then sent to a base-station that communicates with an Android smartphone application via Bluetooth. The app displays vital signs and triggers alarms if any abnormalities are detected. While the project faced challenges, including incomplete signal processing algorithms and sensor issues, it represents an innovative approach to infant safety monitoring.
