Abstract :
Due to the radical environmental changes, in terms of sound pollution and global warming that the world is subject to, today´s climate (noise, temperature, and humidity) impacts newborns and babies environments making them less secure and stable. In order to achieve better living conditions in a baby room, monitoring and control systems became very important. Existing systems only monitor and control the temperature, humidity, and light in baby rooms. This paper intends to build on the existing related work and suggests the integration of a noise cancelling subsystem for an ergonomic scheme that will be monitoring and controlling the baby room conditions. The proposed system design and implementation are discussed and the corresponding components are detailed with their interactions. Additionally, a draft cost estimation is presented.
