Abstract

Intensive medical attention of preterm babies is crucial to avoid short-term and long- term complications. Within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), cribs are equipped with electronic devices aimed at: monitoring, administering drugs and supporting clinician in making diagnosis and offer treatments. To manage this huge data flux, a cloud-based healthcare infrastructure that allows data collection from different devices (i.e., patient monitors, bilirubinometers, and transcutaneous bilirubinometers), storage, processing and transferring will be presented. Communication protocols were designed to enable the communication and data transfer between the three different devices and a unique database and an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) was implemented. The infrastructure is currently used in the “Women’s and Children’s Hospital G.Salesi” in Ancona (Italy), supporting clinicians and health opertators in their daily activities.
