DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is directed to the combination of an incubator and a system for controlling, monitoring and communicating data and images to remote locations.
The combination includes an incubator having a transparent enclosure adapted to receive an infant supporting means in a controlled environment.
The system within the incubator includes a ventilating system, operable by a fan and motor, to control the atmospheric environment within the enclosure, a weight scale to monitor changes in weight of the infant, a pair of cameras trained at different angles on the infant.
a microphone/speaker system for transmitting sounds into and out of said incubator, and an on site x-ray means.
Externally, the incubator features a control console, a touchscreen display panel with processor to control various functions of the incubator, and a primary display panel to monitor functions within the incubator.
Finally, in communication with the internal components and external features is a hub interface, a central station server having a modem, and an internet server having a second modem in communication with the central station server.
Further, the second modem is in communication with a world wide internet system for pictorial accessing images and data from the incubator.
Accordingly, an object of this invention is to provide an improved incubator system, such as for the handling of premature infants, where the incubator includes means for monitoring, controlling and easy communication with the environment of the incubator for medical personnel and family.
A further object hereof is the provision of including plural cameras within the incubator to allow receipt of images therefrom.
Still another object of the invention lies in the incorporation of an integrated weight scale to weigh the infant without disturbing the infant nor altering its environment.
Another object lies in the incorporation of x-ray means within the incubator.
These and other objects will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the description which follows
