Health in the Digital Age: Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Remote Monitoring and Care System

Caring for neonatals and reducing mortality rates is a critical health and social priority today. Statistics indicate that many infant deaths each year result from preventable issues. Advances in technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) present new opportunities to enhance newborn healthcare and monitoring. This article discusses the necessity of developing a comprehensive IoT-based system for neonatal care. If effectively designed and implemented, this system can enable continuous health monitoring, timely alerts, and improved neonatal safety. The current study demonstrated that new technologies can significantly lower infant mortality and enhance quality of life. Its goal was to empower doctors, nurses, parents, and stakeholders to remotely monitor newborns' conditions using appropriate sensors. The Internet of Things was employed to continuously monitor a baby's vital signs, alertness, and health through sensors that track temperature, movement, and ambient light.
