Abstract
An automated baby monitor for financially challenged deaf parents in Africa. This system is
operating on a 433MHz RF module to aid wireless communication. Its input is from a
pulse/heartbeat sensor, which checks the beat per minute (BPM) of the baby when it is higher than
145BPM, indicating that the baby is crying. The Microcontroller used is ATMega328P. The focus
of this system is to help a deaf parent recognize that their baby is crying when the parent is not in
plain sight of the baby or the parent is sleeping. Hence, this system has two devices, one of which
will be worn by the baby and another which will be worn by the parent, and communication is
wireless. This system is made from affordable electronics components to ensure that the final
product is cheaper as compared to its competitions.
