Abstract

The study focuses on the design and implementation of a smart child protection device using IoT technologies and the Arduino platform. The project aims to monitor the environmental and health status of children in real time and alert parents when any risks such as falling, suffocation, or exposure to inappropriate temperatures appear. The device relies on a set of sensors (such as DHT11 to measure temperature and humidity, motion sensor, heart rate sensor, rain and fire sensors) to collect data, which is processed by Arduino while NodeMCU connects the system to a Wi-Fi network to send alerts to the mobile phone application. The research presents an integrated methodology that combines engineering design and programming, with a focus on reducing cost, achieving high efficiency and ease of use. It also reviews the challenges and results obtained, while providing future recommendations to enhance the device's performance and expand its scope of application to include other areas such as monitoring the elderly and patients.
