Growth Monitoring of Children and Pregnant Women using IoT Devices

In addition to reducing malnutrition and improving education, smart anganwadi centers are essential for early childhood development. A growth monitoring system that detects and assists in reducing child malnutrition and maternal mortality, especially among low-income households enrolled in anganwadi centers, is proposed. Children, pregnant women, lactating women can be monitored and reported on their nutritional status in real-time. With the help of an IoT-based integrated growth monitoring system, Anganwadi Teachers can check growth activities with a single click through a mobile app, where data is updated in real time to a department portal and dashboard. The main objective of the proposed work is to develop a smart device for child and pregnancy women’s health monitoring. The proposed work will monitor the growth of child and automatically update it in the cloud server without any manual entry. This proposed work will avoid and reduce the burden of the anganwadi workers.
