ABSTRACT
Assisting the parents sweating relentlessly in pursuit of securing their child's future, the authors have engineered the Smart Anti COVID Cradle, designed by following the basic concepts of mathematics, trigonometry and elementary fundamentals of physics. From calming the baby through the automatic swinging feature to keeping an eye on the baby through live camera feed and audio, this cradle can do it all. Another highlighting facet of this cradle is aiding the baby's feeding through automatic inclination. Toil proof feeding of the baby has been assured by the unique attached bottle holder. Specially designed characteristics like electronic swinging which makes the child feel like rocking in mother's lap, pleasant sounds of nature, recordings of the assuring voice of parents and the automated eye catching circular moving toys will be self-activated to comfort and cheer the baby when it starts crying. In consideration of the prevailing COVID-19 situation, exceptional aspects like regular body temperature alerts, a pre-fitted air purification system and to top it all, a protective covering to avoid infection have been installed. The cradle is completed by a smart mattress equipped with humidity sensors to keep in check the excretion by the baby. The cradle works on the principles of Internet of Things (IoT) helping parents' shuttle effortlessly in a smart way between work and home. This is the revolutionary step to rewrite the history of advanced childcare post pandemic not only at home but also in pediatric hospitals imparting care for neonates and infants. © 2022 Author(s).
