A method and arrangement to help a mother with her baby to find optimal life and care rhythm

A baby care method for helping a mother or another caregiver with her/his baby to find optimal life, sleep and care rhythm, the method comprising:

• multi-modally measuring and tracking
• the baby's presence, motions, voice, heart rate, breathing rate, sounds from lung and respiratory track, and temperature changes, and baby's crying, joggling, talking, breathing, urinating, excreting, farting, burping and/or silence;
• and
• the baby's ECG, EEG, EMG, SDA, skin conductivity, skin temperature, humidity, and/or brain activity;
• and
• the mother's or the other caregiver's body and arms movements, body temperature, heart activities, lung activities, blood circulation, brain activities, muscle activities, skin activities and/or gastro/metabolic activities;
• and
• the mother's or the other caregiver's speaking, humming, singing, breathing, sighing, and/or environmental sounds coming from the home life, other children, kitchen machinery and/or outdoor traffic;
• and
• conditions in a care room comprising at least one of a presence of anybody in the room, temperature, light, humidity, air pollution, distinct sound, noise and radiation;
• or
• measuring and tracking any combination of the above listed measures, comprising at least baby's movements and voices and mother's or the other caregiver's movements and voices;
• wherein two graphs are processed from the measured and tracked signals, a sleep/activity status graph of the baby and a sleep/emotion status graph of the mother or the other caregiver, in an artificial intelligence system
• to find interactivity and dependability between the two graphs now and in their histories and to define the optimal way to treat the baby according to the historic experiments of baby behaviour changes according to used different audio, motion and airflow actions;
• to control audio, motion and airflow actions in the defined optimal way, trying to help the baby to find an optimal sleep or activity level, which naturally belongs to the existing instance and existing conditions, comprising the phase of the baby's awake or sleep rhythm, the mother's or the other caregiver's emotional status and their few hour histories, the environmental conditions in the care room, and their few hour history;
• and
• to store the data of used audio, motion and airflow actions combined with the data of the two graphs and environmental data and their few hour history into a baby behavior database so that all collected baby behavior data from a short term comprising minutes and even hours and a long term comprising days, months and even years tracking history are available, when the artificial intelligence system makes decisions for next actions.

A computer program product comprising computer program code means adapted to perform the following program code steps when said program is executed on one or more processors of a data processing device for improving emotional interaction between a mother or another caregiver and a baby and the baby's life and sleep rhythm, the computer program product comprising:

• code means for recording and aggregating sensor data from sensors on the platform and sensors on the sensor sheet, and processing a sleep/activity status graph in a baby signal conditioning and data aggregation artificial intelligence system;
• and
• code means for recording and aggregating sensor data from sensors on the mother or the other caregiver and processing a sleep/emotion status graph in a mother signal conditioning and data aggregation artificial intelligence system;
• and
• code means for recording and aggregating sensor data from sensors in a care room;
• and processing the environmental status data in a smart home environmental signal conditioning and data aggregation artificial intelligence system;
• and
• code means for generating audio, motion and airflow action files by inputting recorded sensor data, using given artificial intelligence algorithms and storing the files in an audio/motion/airflow database;
• and
• code means for recording the baby behaviour files comprising the life and sleep rhythm data with specification data of the used manual and automatic care actions, and storing the files in a baby behaviour database;
• and
• code means for generating alarms and reports to a mobile alarm unit;
• and
• code means for realizing a gateway between a baby care arrangement and a smart home system;
• and
• code means for realizing a gateway between the baby care arrangement and any social media,
• wherein for optimization of the effect of the audio, motion and airflow actions, the computer program product further comprises:
• code means in the artificial intelligence unit for analysing the two graphs, their first and second time derivatives, found rhythms and similarities, and correlations between the two graphs, correlations between first and second derivatives of the two graphs, and tracked data from environmental room sensors and events in them, which are used as features in data mining for finding the best audio, motion, and airflow actions to help the baby to move from one sleep or activity level to another or to calm down to fall asleep;
• and
• code means for realizing the automatic tracking process to read the sleep/activity level data and analyse whether it has changed to a right way and to execute a decision making task to change the audio/motion/airflow data file to a better working one from the audio/motion/airflow database;
• and
• code means for alarming the mother or the other caregiver when the baby's sleep/activity status is in a panic level;
• and
• code means for following up whether the baby continues sleeping or is waking up;
• and
• code means, when the baby wakes up, for checking whether it is the right time to wake up, and if not, to return back to try to get the baby fall asleep again;
• or
• code means for softly waking the baby up when sleeping too long.
