Bio-Remote Sensing in Predicting Infection in Neonates With Thermal Imaging and Machine Learning

Premature birth complications have different causes and vary in different parts of the world with sepsis as one of the leading causes of these complications. The body releases anti-inflammatory substances when an infection is detected and this, in turn, could damage healthy organs, especially when they are not fully developed. Preterm babies...

Real-time Thermographic Object Tracking of the Body Temperature of a Neonate

Neonates can show sudden rapid body movements when they are in pain, need care, or need to be fed. They can also be very quiet and immovable or move very slowly when they are asleep or being fed. Monitoring a neonate's body temperature for a long time provides physicians and nurses valuable information about the health condition of the baby....

Accurate Body Temperature Measurement of a Neonate Using Thermography Technology

One of the important measured vital signs in neonates is the body temperature. The traditional measurement uses adhesive pads, but medical staff are hindered by connectors attached to the infant. Remote infrared thermal imaging techniques provide a non-intrusive and safe method to measure body temperature. By means of the thermography...
