Infant incubator was made for keeping infants in a suitable environment for them as their cases need of temperature and humidity, In our project we make a control include classic incubator addition to more vital functions such as (SpO2 and Heart rate) and other technical functions which keep infants more safe like (air quality mode, motion alarm sensor, water level in tank system and UV therapy control (Photo therapy). This papers deals with the cost-worthy design of an embedded device for real time monitoring of newborn babies in the incubator. In smart incubator a child’s medical data can be checked through mobile phones or computers by the doctors or nurses from the place where they are accessing by the cloud storage through the internet. The smart Incubator is a one which monitors the newborn baby continuously and which sends the medical data directly to the cloud storage and the data’s are stored. The medical data can be viewed from mobile phones and computer systems from the place where they are and from they can take actions.
