Invention Description/ Abstract:

InfantCrySense is an intelligent, non-invasive infant cry detection system designed for real-time monitoring in smart healthcare and childcare environments. Infants rely primarily on crying to express physiological and emotional needs, but manual caregiver monitoring can be subjective, stressful, and prone to delayed responses. InfantCrySense addresses this by automatically distinguishing between infant cry and non-cry audio events with a high classification accuracy of 96%. Featuring a user-friendly graphical interface, the system supports real-time microphone stream detection and offline audio file analysis, complete with dynamic waveform visualization and confidence-score predictions. By reducing caregiver burden and enabling prompt responses, InfantCrySense offers a practical solution for home care, childcare facilities, and neonatal wards.

Invention Technical Description

InfantCrySense utilizes an advanced audio processing pipeline combined with deep learning for automated acoustic recognition. Audio input from live streams or recordings undergoes silence trimming, RMS amplitude normalization, and fixed-length segmentation to ensure consistency across environments. The system extracts Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) along with temporal delta and delta-delta coefficients to construct a robust 3-channel feature matrix. This input is classified using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) consisting of multi-stage Conv2D blocks with batch normalization, ReLU activation, MaxPooling, Global Average Pooling, and a Softmax output layer. Trained with the Adam optimizer and Cross-Entropy Loss, the integrated framework achieves 99% precision for cry detection, delivering rapid, confidence-based real-time predictions.
