The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about a change in every person’s life, making it easier with smart and intelligent devices. The problems of the physically disabled are also being addressed through smart controlling systems. Technology has made disadvantaged people equal to their peers by completely eliminating their disability and empowering them to do whatever they want to do. A physically handicapped infant needs constant monitoring which can often be challenging. Therefore, the goal of this project is to install a smart monitoring system on the infant’s activities. The core of this project is the ESP32 microcontroller on which different sensors are set up. The sensors included are APDS9960 for gesture recognition (signalling any movement in the baby and whether the baby is asleep or awake), MPU6050 Multi Axes Accelerometer for fall detection (to protect the baby from falling). In conclusion, the project assists in taking care of physically challenged infants by their guardian. In the future, a camera for more efficient supervision might be added.
