Abstract: This work proposes an IoT-based pacifier that tracks real-time critical infant health parameters, including body position, temperature, and respiratory rhythms. The pacifier is equipped with an Arduino microcontroller, ESP32 wireless module, thermostat for temperature measurement, an MPU6050 sensor for position tracking, and a microphone condenser for tracking breathing rates. Real-time transmission enables early abnormalities and quick notifications to the caregivers. With continuous health monitoring and prevention of disease hazards of respiratory distress and SIDS, this new system enhances infant security. Infants health monitoring is a vital aspect of neonatal care, which must be continuously monitored to detect abnormalities in its initial phase. The data are saved on a cloud server and retrieved through a particular mobile app, allowing caregivers to track baby health remotely. The system provides real-time warnings for abnormal motion or temperature sensing, allowing caregivers to intervene timely. The device has been designed to be small, non-invasive, and power-effective, allowing for infant comfort without sacrificing system reliability.
