Inspiration

We were inspired by a research question a psychology professor talked about in how baby monitoring systems need to be studied more and find better ways to improve them to detect health concerns like SIDS earlier on.

What it does

We have designed a chest patch prototype that can connect to our baby tracking app called "Lullis" via blue tooth. The chest patch is attached to the skin with the use of hydrogel (skin safe for the baby) and has inner mechanisms like ECG nodes, 3-axis accelerometer, body temp sensors, and a microphone to detect all of the babies basic health statistics. Our app has real time tracking for heart rate, o2 levels, blood pressure, and body temperature that the parent can look at whenever they enter the app. The app also is personalized towards your baby where it tells you specifically when each statistic is considered "normal" for the babies age. Every time a specific statistic goes below the "normal interval" the app will send a notification to the parent to tell them to check on the baby or if the statistic keeps going down it will suggest nearby hospitals that the parent can go to for emergency reasons.

How we built it

We built the app by using the language Swift in a coding manager called XCode with the help of AI resources like Claude and ChatGPT.

Challenges we ran into

Challenges we ran into was trying to implement certain functions like connecting the "prototype" to our code so it can sync up with the app and also adding the proper sound and motion detectors into our app.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Accomplishments that we are proud of include having a functional app that has most of the main features that we wanted for our device and working out the logistics in Arduino to build hardware that is representative of our product.

What we learned

We learned how to use Swift and code it on XCode to create a functioning iOS simulator.

What's next for Lullis

We plan to implement the sound and motion features mentioned above to accurately measure more of the babies vitals, connect the hardware to the actual app via blue tooth, and include the proper personalization aspect for each vital depending on the babies age and predetermined conditions set by the parent in the onboarding process using information compiled by GeminiAPI.
