Abstract
An infant care station can include sensors to detect an environmental characteristic of the infant care station, an access point to access a microenvironment of the infant care station, and a processor to obtain a sealed measurement for the infant care station with the access point in a sealed position. The processor can also obtain the environmental characteristic from sensors monitoring the microenvironment. Additionally, the processor can determine a difference between the environmental characteristic and the sealed measurement and generate an alert indicating an access point sealing issue based on the difference exceeding a predetermined threshold.
Claims10
An infant care station comprising:
- one or more sensors to detect an environmental characteristic of the infant care station;
- access points to access a microenvironment of the infant care station;
- and
- a processing system programmed to:
- obtain a sealed measurement for the infant care station with the access points in sealed positions;
- obtain the environmental characteristic from the one or more sensors;
- determine a difference between the environmental characteristic and the sealed measurement exceeds a predetermined threshold;
- and
- generate an alert indicating an access point sealing issue based on the difference and indicate which of the access points is experiencing the sealing issue.
