Abstract

Provided are mechanisms and processes for more effectively monitoring infants to enhance caregiving and infant development. In one example, a platform receives measurement data from numerous infant monitoring systems corresponding to different infants in disparate locations and having different ages and developmental levels. Each of the infant monitoring systems includes an infant monitoring device and an infant monitoring hub. The platform analyzes the measurement data to generate a developmental model reflecting a range of characteristics corresponding to the numerous infants. The developmental model, which is customizable for individual infants, is sent to a first infant monitoring system.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving measurement data from a plurality of sensors associated with a plurality of infant monitoring systems, each of the plurality of infant monitoring systems comprising an infant monitoring device and an infant monitoring hub, the plurality of infant monitoring systems corresponding to a plurality of infants in a plurality of disparate locations;

analyzing the measurement data from the plurality of infant monitoring systems to generate a developmental model reflecting a range of characteristics corresponding to the plurality of infants, the plurality of infants having different ages and developmental levels, wherein the developmental model is customizable for the plurality of infants; and

sending the developmental model wirelessly to a first infant monitoring system in the plurality of infant monitoring systems.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the developmental model is periodically refined based on additional measurement data received from the plurality of infant monitoring systems.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of infant monitoring systems changes over time.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement data includes heart rate.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement data includes weight and growth.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement data includes galvanic skin response (GSR).

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement data includes blood flow.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement data includes gaze intensity and gaze duration.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement data includes infant position and movement.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein blood flow is correlated to brain development.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement data includes motion, temperature, position, and galvanic skin response.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the range of characteristics includes one or more of sleep, mobility, stress, position, comfort, health, vigilance, or articulation.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the range of characteristics includes one or more of receptivity to learning, infant well-being, presence of caregiver, environmental factors, safety of infant, or emotional state of infant.

14. A platform comprising:

a platform interface configured to receive measurement data from a plurality of sensors associated with a plurality of infant monitoring systems, each of the plurality of infant monitoring systems comprising an infant monitoring device and an infant monitoring hub, the plurality of infant monitoring systems corresponding to a plurality of infants in a plurality of disparate locations;

a platform processor configured to analyze the measurement data from the plurality of infant monitoring systems to generate a developmental model reflecting a range of characteristics corresponding to the plurality of infants, the plurality of infants having different ages and developmental levels, wherein the developmental is customizable for the plurality of infants; and

wherein the developmental model is sent to a first infant monitoring system in the plurality of infant monitoring systems.

15. The platform of claim 14, wherein the developmental model is periodically refined based on additional measurement data received from the plurality of infant monitoring systems.

16. The platform of claim 14, wherein the plurality of infant monitoring systems changes over time.

17. The platform of claim 14, wherein the measurement data includes galvanic skin response (GSR).

18. The platform of claim 14, wherein the measurement data includes blood flow.

19. The platform of claim 14, wherein the measurement data includes gaze intensity and gaze duration.

20. The platform of claim 14, wherein the measurement data includes infant position and movement.
