Abstract

The objective of the bachelor graduation project detailed in this thesis is to develop a wireless sensor patch that monitors the health of newborns. The sensor patch replaces the monitoring tasks of nurses during maternity care. The patch measures temperature, heart rate, oxygen saturation and bilirubin. Many babies are born with high bilirubin, causing a condition called newborn jaundice. All measurements will be done once every two hours and the data will be sent to the hospital.
This thesis focuses on everything related to energy and power within the wireless sensor patch. Energy storage, power and energy management and visualising data with the aid of a MATLAB model are topics that will be designed and implemented in this thesis.
