Baby crying analyzing and solution using matlab graphical user interface; interdisciplinary collaboration between engineering and nursing

Abstract

Background: Babies can express all their needs (such as hunger, pain, tiredness, discomfort, and so on) to their parents with crying behavior that being able to predict these behaviors of babies correctly parents is extremely important for the comfort of babies. In recent years, analyzing the baby crying sound and interpreting it in line with the needs has been developing as an important process in the estimation of baby needs. Methods: Analyzing the spectra of the baby crying sound over time and amplitude period creates a significant knowledge base on the prediction of baby needs. Within the scope of this study, a new method has been developed for the development of various technical analyzes of a sample baby crying sound using the MATLAB program. Results: With this method, the energy fluctuations in the sample baby crying sound were analyzed, and the changes in the crying process were examined through the baby crying process. Conclusions: As a result, thanks to the analysis data obtained within the scope of this study, it is aimed to provide data to autonomous controlled baby care units that can be manufactured in future studies.
