The effect of moving load on remote weight monitoring system for simple infant incubator

In this paper, a remote weight monitoring system for premature baby incubator application is proposed. The system consists of load cell as a sensor, an active filter, and an Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller integrated with a SIM900 GSM Module to send the body weight data monitored by the system to the medical expert. We evaluated system by using a moving baby doll to simulate the baby moving inside the incubator. From the experimental results, we found out that even if the object measured was moving, the measurement output remained stable. Moreover, the system was capable to send the measured data to mobile phone via SMS.
