Piezoelectric Transducer Safety System for Infant Monitoring

Abstract

Ensuring the safety of infants around swimming pools or hazardous areas can be tasking for caregivers and their parents.Providing safety devices that can keep track of infants and prevent them from going to unauthorized locations is very necessary.The study aims to design and implement an infant safety system that uses a Piezoelectric sensor.The paper constructed a system to alert parents of an infant's attempted entry into a dangerous area, such as balconies and swimming pools, and it also incorporated an automatic doorlocking system around the location.The Piezoelectric Sensor Infant Monitoring System was designed to enhance infant safety at home.The system utilized piezoelectric transducers and pressure sensors, incorporating an automatic door to secure unauthorized zones.Components like Arduino Nano, an LCD, and a buzzer were used to create the prototype.The device was designed to harvest energy by converting mechanical energy from ambient vibrations into electrical energy that will send signals to the GSM module, alerting the homeowner by sending a call.The model adopts the technology of pressure control, and when the pressure reaches a set value and the dial of the scale reaches a specific value simultaneously, the automatic door will open.The device is designed to harvest energy by converting mechanical energy from ambient vibrations into electrical energy that will power the motor of the automatic door of the safety system.The test proved the system's effectiveness in accurately detecting and blocking an infant, but it only grants access to authorized individuals while alerting caregivers.The results demonstrated improved child safety, responsible parenting, and a secure environment.The Piezoelectric sensor safety system offers a practical solution for enhancing infant monitoring for safety and preventing avoidable mishaps, thereby reducing infant mortality and morbidity in present times.The system can serve as a protection device for very busy mothers.
