Parents often struggle to balance their busy schedules with the needs of their infants, making it challenging to provide the necessary care especially in rural communities across Somalia. While hiring a nanny is an option, it’s not affordable or acceptable in rural areas. To support those parents, a smart cradle using Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been developed. This system monitors an infant’s physiological and environmental conditions, including humidity, temperature, moisture, and crying. It also features a swing mechanism and a conditional DC fan that activates when temperatures rise. Data from these sensors are transmitted to a mobile app, enabling parents to remotely monitor their child’s status in real-time. The system was tested and demonstrated reliable performance, significantly enhancing infant comfort and safety. The integration of mobile app monitoring offers a convenient and effective solution for infant care, potentially reducing parental anxiety and improving the child’s well-being.
