Abstract

Ensuring continuous and non-invasive monitoring of neonates within incubator environments is critical for improving clinical outcomes in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Conventional monitoring systems rely heavily on wired physiological sensors, which may cause discomfort, restrict infant mobility, and increase infection risk. Recent advancements in vision sensing technologies offer contactless, real-time monitoring capabilities that can enhance neonatal safety and caregiver response efficiency. This study presents a comprehensive analysis and development of a vision sensor–driven monitoring solution designed to detect vital behavioral cues such as motion patterns, posture changes, respiratory rhythms, and distress indicators. The proposed framework integrates advanced image processing, edge AI algorithms, and environmental sensing to achieve reliable monitoring even under challenging NICU lighting and occlusion conditions. Experimental validation demonstrates improved accuracy in anomaly detection, reduced false alarms, and superior response time compared with traditional systems. The findings highlight the potential of vision-based monitoring as a transformative approach to neonatal care, contributing to safer, smarter, and more automated incubator environments.
