IoT-BBMS: Internet of Things-Based Baby Monitoring System for Smart Cradle

The current number of working mothers has greatly increased. Subsequently, baby care has become a daily challenge for many families. Thus, most parents send their babies to their grandparents' house or to baby care houses. However, the parents cannot continuously monitor their babies' cond...
