Abstract
An interactive enthalpy exchange system for infant care includes a pouch for receiving an infant, and a heat source arranged in the pouch. The heat source includes a first heat source and a second heat source different from the first heat source. Control circuitry is operatively coupled to the heat source, the control circuitry configured to control interactive enthalpy between the first heat source and the second heat source to maintain a temperature within the pouch at a prescribed temperature.

An interactive enthalpy exchange system for infant care comprising:
- a pouch for receiving an infant;
- a heat source arranged in the pouch, the heat source including a first heat source and a second heat source different from the first heat source;
- and
- control circuitry operatively coupled to the heat source, the control circuitry configured to control interactive enthalpy between the first heat source and the second heat source to maintain a temperature within the pouch at a prescribed temperature.
A method for providing uniform thermal energy to an infant using an interactive enthalpy exchange system having a pouch, a heating device having a first heat source and a second heat source different from the first heat source, and control circuitry operatively coupled to the heating device, the method comprising:
- monitoring at least one of i) a temperature within the pouch, ii) a temperature external to the pouch, iii) a temperature of the first heat source, and iv) a temperature of the second heat source;
- and
- providing thermal energy to the infant via enthalpy exchange between the first and second heat sources based on at least one of the temperature within the pouch, the temperature of the first heat source, the temperature of the second heat source and the temperature external to the pouch
