Abstract

The risk of newborn infant mortality is commonly associated with hypothermia. Hypothermia is a health disorder and a leading cause of death in newborns, caused by an imbalance in the baby's body temperature. Hypothermia occurs due to a decrease in body temperature resulting from various conditions, especially high oxygen requirements and a decrease in room temperature. The purpose of this study is to monitor the health status of newborns. Monitoring the body temperature and oxygen saturation levels in newborns can help detect abnormalities in infants at an early stage. Oxygen saturation is considered a vital sign that is important in supplying oxygen to the body. This research is expected to assist patients using a baby cuve in providing care for newborns with hypothermia symptoms. The Baby Cuve utilizes the DS18B20 sensor for temperature measurement and the MAX3102 sensor for heart rate and oxygen saturation. The data is then processed using the ESP32 microcontroller, and the results are displayed on an LCD screen. The comparative tools used in this study are the standard thermometer and pulse oximeter. The results of this research indicate that the smallest measurement error value is found in the Spmeasurement of respondent 10, which is 0.1%. The largest measurement error value is found in the Spmeasurement of respondent 2, which is 5.6% based on the obtained data. However, the measurement results are still within the tolerance limit of ±10%.
