Intelligent infant monitoring system

Abstract

Provided are mechanisms and processes for more effectively monitoring infants to enhance caregiving and infant development. A system may include a wearable infant monitoring device, transmission interface, and monitoring hub. The wearable infant monitoring device includes sensors that detect activity and position of an infant. The transmission interface transmits measurement data associated with the activity and position of the infant. The monitoring hub receives the measurement data and includes a processor configured to determine the infant's receptivity to learning. Learning materials are then provided to a caregiver through a display interface based on the infant's receptivity to learning.

 a wearable infant monitoring device, the wearable infant monitoring device including a plurality of sensors configured to detect activity and position of an infant;   a transmission interface configured to transmit measurement data associated with the activity and position of the infant; and   a monitoring hub configured to receive measurement data, the monitoring hub including a processor configured to determine the infant's receptivity to learning, wherein learning materials are provided to a caregiver through a display interface based on the infant's receptivity to learning.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor determines the infant's receptivity to learning based on smile and gaze duration. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor determines the infant's receptivity to learning based on smile and gaze intensity. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor processes the data measurements and customizes learning content based on a developmental age associated with the infant. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the monitoring hub further comprises persistent storage configured to store learning content and schedules. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the monitoring hub further comprises persistent storage configured to store infant models and charts. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the monitoring hub further comprises a platform interface configured to facilitate communication between the monitoring hub and a platform, wherein the platform aggregates data from a plurality of infant monitoring devices. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a peripheral device. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the peripheral device is a camera. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the peripheral device is an audio sensor. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the peripheral device is a projector. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the peripheral device is a tablet device. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the remote infant monitoring hub is a mobile device. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors includes a tri-axial accelerometer, galvanic skin response (GSR) detector, a gyroscope, and a temperature sensor. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the transmission interface is a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) interface. 
     
     
         16 . A device comprising:
 a wearable infant monitoring device, the wearable infant monitoring device including a plurality of sensors configured to detect activity and position of an infant;   a transmission interface configured to transmit measurement data associated with the activity and position of the infant; and   a charging interface;   wherein a monitoring hub is configured to receive measurement data from the wearable monitoring device, the monitoring hub including a processor configured to determine the infant's receptivity to learning, wherein learning materials are provided to a caregiver through a display interface based on the infant's receptivity to learning.   
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 16 , wherein the processor determines the infant's receptivity to learning based on smile and gaze duration. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 16 , wherein the processor determines the infant's receptivity to learning based on smile and gaze intensity. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 16 , wherein the processor processes the data measurements and customizes learning content based on a developmental age associated with the infant. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 16 , wherein the monitoring hub further comprises persistent storage configured to store learning content and schedules.
