Neonatal care system and control method

A method of controlling a neonatal care system providing a microenvironment for a neonate with a control system, wherein the neonatal care system comprises at least one of a heater, a humidifier, an oxygen source, and a light to control the microenvironment, and wherein the control system comprises one or more processors configured to receive and process sensor information from at least one microenvironmental sensor, at least one physiological sensor, and at least one environmental sensor, the method comprising:

• sensing a plurality of physiological parameters of the neonate with the at least one physiological sensor;
• sensing a plurality of microenvironmental parameters within an enclosure of the neonatal care system with the at least one microenvironmental sensor;
• sensing at least one external parameter outside the enclosure with the at least one environmental sensor;
• controlling the at least one of the heater, the humidifier, the oxygen source, and the light to control the microenvironment based on a plurality of control settings and one or more of the physiological parameters, the microenvironmental parameters, and the at least one external parameter;
• tracking at least one setting change to any of the control settings and a corresponding time of change;
• detecting at least one event, wherein the control system is configured to detect an air boost action, a temperature probe off, an enclosure open and/or a port door open, and at least one clinician-entered event;
• storing the at least one event and a corresponding event time for each event;
• identifying a trend in each of the physiological parameters, the microenvironmental parameters, and the at least one external parameter;
• determining a correlation between the trend in one of the physiological parameters, the microenvironmental parameters, and the at least one external parameter and at least one of:
• the trend in another of the physiological parameters, the microenvironmental parameters, and the at least one external parameter, one or more of the at least one setting change, or one or more of the at least one event;
• and
• generating a display that visually indicates the correlation.
