What Types of Sensors are Commonly Used in Pediatric Care?
Various types of sensors are used in pediatric care, including:
- Wearable Sensors: These include devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers that monitor vital signs such as heart rate, temperature, and oxygen levels. - Implantable Sensors: These are used for more invasive monitoring, such as glucose sensors for diabetic children. - Environmental Sensors: These monitor the child's surroundings, such as air quality sensors for children with asthma. - Contactless Sensors: These include devices that use infrared or ultrasound technology to measure vital signs without physical contact, making them ideal for newborns and infants.
